Your machine should be able to handle a 110gsm card stock. In your computer printer settings you should be able to change the paper type to either card or heavy/ thicker paper. If the card stock is quite stiff your machine will not be able to bend it around the paper feed roller regardless of your print settings.
SOURCE: Printing on heavy cardstock
HP recommends papers with ratings of at least 90 for brightness and 75 g/m2 (20 pound) weight. before u proceed....remove the rear access door to reveal the rollers.Take a slightly wet cotton cloth and wipe the rollers in the upward direction 4 times.Close the rear access door. now do as said - START -PRINTERS & FAXES -CHOOSE THE PRINTER ICON THAT HAS BEEN HIGHLIGHTED WITH A CORRECT MARK. - RIGHT CLICK - PRINTING PREFERANCES - PAPER/QUALITY TAB - CUSTOM -Create a new custom paper size that is dependable on the paper you are using - type a name & SAVE -ok -ok -try printing if the problem still insists the report back and do mention which tool you are using for the printout. if its heavy pearlized paper then i do not think th eprinter would accept it . it maintains its own standard weight to detect the paper.
SOURCE: can not get the card to feed the printer
This printer isn't designed to take heavy paper, only office standard, and slightly heavier for smarter documents / photos. Best idea would be to print one on smart bright white paper (or desired colour), and take it to a copy shop where they can print onto card. The problem is that the thin paper will easily roll round the rollers at the back, however the thicker paper can't, and therefore jams with the rollers tickling the end of it.
Good luck, and congrats on wedding :)
SOURCE: paper jams with thicker stock paper
Your pickup tires on the printer may be worn, how many prints have you made on this printer. it may be time for a maint. kit.
SOURCE: Jamming when Print heavy paper on Samsung 510
printer only handles up to 120gsm,any thicker will jam.
SOURCE: I AM TRYING TO PRINT HEAVY STOCK CHRISTMAS CARDS -
If its heavier than 60 to 105 gsm (16 to 28 lb), then your printer can not take that type.
HP Specifications
Unless there is a manual feed on the back, the paper won't be able to bend well inside of the printer, hence the jam.
