HP Photosmart 2410 will not print cardstock. The paper feeds through but when it goes to print it locks up. Is the paper too thick? Is there a way to adjust the settings?

Considering you can get a new Brother laser printer for about $100 and the fact that you current printer is worth about $40 its not worth taking to a repair shop if you can?t fix it yourself. Having said that my first guess would be to take the toner cartridge out and blow the inside clean with some ?compressed air?. Get a can of it from Staples or any computer store for a couple of dollars and resist the urge to use air from a commercial compressor. It?s too strong plus unless you have a water/oil filter you?ll make a mess of your printer. Look carefully at the paper path to ensure a small piece of paper isn?t in there blocking a sensor and if you have another fresh cartridge try that too. I?ve had problems with HP printers doing this and the problem has always been a defective sensor or circuit board. So unless you have a friend or free spare parts you are going to be looking at a repair bill of at least ½ the cost of a low end laser printer.

This is a very common problem. Apparently HP changed the roller because of this fault.
I've tried cleaning, I've tried making the roller rough. I tried to get HP to send me a new roller but they didn't even reply.
HP are a rubbish company who don't care at all about customers (and their printer software (bloatware) is even more rubbish).
BUT - the solution I found:
The spring that holds the roller down onto the paper is too weak. I bent the end of a straightened out paper clip into a small hook then made another hook-like bend a bit further up (but kept the rest of the clip to use like a handle). the length between the two hook parts is just under 1/2 inch. Don't cut it yet - buy you will need to when it's in place.
Hold the handle end (the bit at the bottom of this sketch) so you can fiddle about in the small space and don't loose the spring altogether.
Find the spring that fixes onto the roller gadget, it hooks onto the printer body. Hook the spring off the hole in the printer body, and then catch the second (double) hook of the paperclip onto the small printed circuit board just by the roller (most of the board is empty - so hook it to the left end of the board).
Then, when it's all in place cut the rest of the paperclip off.
You can see the double hook part once I'd cut off the "handle" piece in the photo:

and here you can see where the spring used to go, and where it fixes with the clip thingy I made.


Of course this is what I did (when I was about to throw the printer away so it was a last chance survival idea), if you loose the spring, stick it onto something that goes sparky-sparky or otherwise kill the machine or yourself I can't take responsibility!

You were using this prevoiously; I mean previously it was fine. now you have problem.

Because usually this may not be the problem with a printer. This is a problem of paper. You may use duplexing if it allows you.
