Officejet pro 8600 will not print card stock

I just purchased the Officejet Pro 8600 and cannot print card stock. I read another HP troubleshooting page and tried to run 100 copies of blank paper through to "calibrate" the printer as suggested by HP technical support. There was a suggestion to disconnect the tray 2 paper tray but I also don't a tray 2. Any suggestions? I print card stock regularly.

Hi breannemk,

How do I set up my HP 7520 to print card stock off Avery 8859 design???

Trying to print business cards after designing on Avery 8859 card stock design. HP 7520 All in one will only print a test page of thumbnails of the business cards even though it shows the correct size, etc. for the 8859 paper.
How do I set the printer for card stock, etc. as Avery describes, and what is going wrong?? I have wasted many hours, and lots of paper, and still NO BUSINESS CARDS!!!

Hi @klmrazek,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that you are wondering how to set up your HP 7520 to print card stock off Avery 8859 design? I am sorry for the frustration, but happy to look into this for you!
From what I can find, the card size you are using is 2" x 3 1/2". This is an unsupported paper size with this particular printer. According to your printer specifications, here are the supported card stock sizes:
Card type
Card size
3 x 5 in Index
76.2 x 127 mm (3 x 5 in)
4 x 6 in Index
101.6 x 152 mm (4 x 6 in)
5 x 8 in Index
127 x 203.2 mm (5 x 8 in)
However, you might be able to get around this by assigning an alternate driver, by going through this post, How to Assign Alternate Print Drivers in Different Versions of Windows, by @Shane_R. Then try a custom size print by going through this guide, Create Custom Paper Sizes in Windows 7, Windows 8, and Mac OS X.
Otherwise, I would suggest a different size of paper, within your supported sizes using the chart provided. Or you can also try contacting Avery Support, in case they may have additional software or drivers that you can try.
Hope this information is helpful, and have a good day!

How do I print card stock?

Hi Jeff1212,
Review the following link which has the specifications regarding paper handling. If you have a card stock which is supported try cleaning the paper pickup rollers.

Mac OS X Won't Print Card Stock on Brand New OfficeJet Pro 8610 e AiO

Hi All - I print cardstock all the time and just purchased a new OfficeJet Pro 8610 eAiO from Best Buy 2 days ago. The salesman told me it was the best option for cardstock printing and the specs say it can handle 110lbs cardstock. It is hooked up and printed a couple standard paper pages nicely. But when I put in the cardstock, it made all the noises like it was printing, but then "Load Paper" shows up on the LCD screen. We have tried unplugging it, but that doesnt do anything. After a little bit of fiddling with the tray (pushing and pulling on all tabs and springs we see), we put the tray back in and then it prints. But we have to do this with every print request. I have read to select "heavy paper or card stock" in the printer properties and to disable tray 2. I dont have a tray 2 on my printer (that I am aware of at least). And I dont see an option for printer properties for me to change anything. Does anyone have directions for this process? Also - I read that the printer may work if it is kept nearly full of paper? Has anyone had success with this? Any help is appreciated.

Hi KRichBC,
Thank you again for answering my questions!
Checking over the printer's specifications, found at this website. HP Officejet Pro 8610, 8620, 8630, 8640, and 8660 e-All-in-One Printer Series Printer Specifications. This is a supported paper size at 8.5 x 11, if the paper type is Index Card Letter.
I also would recommend trying the solutions within this guide. An 'Out of Paper' Message Displays on the Control Panel and the All-in-One Does Not Pick Up Paper. Again please, try a custom size print to see if that will work. Create Custom Paper Sizes in Windows 7, Windows 8, and Mac OS X.
Hope this information helps you, and hope to hear from you soon!

My printer will not recognize greeting card stock and I cannot use card programs.

I have changed all of the necessary thing when loading card stock into the printer, and yet the printer asks for paper. It doesn't recognize the card stock and I cannot use any of my greeting card programs.

You are not alone with this issue. I wish that HP would accept the fact that printing with card stock is an issue that needs to be addressed and corrected. My Officejet 8600 Plus will not pick up nor print any weight (67 or 110) card stock. It is listed in their specifications that it will! Neither Best Buy or Office Depot could get their display units to print card stock either. Under troubleshooting they list a series of steps that do not apply to the basic problem. When trying to print to card stock you receive a "Out of Paper" error message. It is a known issue and not being addressed. I just posted this same problem so will see what comes back and stay in touch.

Can our hp laserjet enterprise 500 color printer m551use 67lb card stock?

The printer specifications list card stock but no weights.
This question was solved.

Hello,
the required media weight is not supported by the printer.
As you may find listed within the Media Weight specification below, the printer support up to 58 lb media.
Media weight:
Tray 1: 16 to 58 lb (plain); 28 to 58 lb (glossy);
Tray 2: 16 to 43 lb (plain paper); 28 to 58 lb (glossy paper)
You may find the product specification below:

How do I get an Office Jet 6500A to print on Card stock?

How do I get an Office Jet 6500A to print on card stock. It pushes the card stock through the printer but will not print and tells me I have not selected the right print media. There is no selection for card stock. I have tried every selection. I assume there are other media definitions that can be downloaded but they certainly are not apparent. I have been doing this job on all my other HP printers for years. Suddenly this printer balks.

Hi,
Page #22 of the manual says (must be the same as photo paper ?):
To load cards and photo paper
1. Lift the output tray.
2. Slide the paper width guide out as far as possible.
3. Insert the media print-side down along the right of the main tray. Make sure the media aligns with the right and back edges of the tray and does not exceed the line marking in the tray. If the photo paper has a tab along one edge, make sure the tab is pointing towards the front of the printer.
4. Slide the media guides in the tray to adjust them for the media size that you have loaded.
5. Lower the output tray.
6. Pull out the tray extender.
And the manual is : h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02519721.pdf

Print quality on card stock

I have a batch of Georgia-Pacific white card stock, 110 lb. weight. My printer is an HP Photosmart D5460. What is the best print setting to maximize the quality of color photos printed with this printer on this medium? Thanks for any suggestions anybody has.

Print in best mode, and use either premium inkjet paper, or brochure media, matte. The key is that you are not printed on a coated media, but simply paper pulp. Also, your media is whiter than regular plain paper, so you want to use either of the two aforementioned, as the colors they put down are assuming good bright paper.
Hope that takes care of you!

PRINTING ON CARD STOCK

When attempting to print on card stock paper, the LJ 6500 ejects the (blank) card stock paper and then prints on the second page. Yes, I know...put the card stock as the second page. But, I would like to know why the AIO ejects the first page. The driver that I am using is a E710A-F.
Your thoughts?

rak1up,

F4280 Print Alignment Issues on Business Card Card Stock

I have a Deskjet F4280 All-in-One series printer. Two weeks ago I printed 250 business cards (front and back) on the printer and everything aligned perfectly. Today I've gone through page after page trying to print again and every time I print a page, the alignment is different! It seems to work properly on regular paper but when trying to print on the same exact card stock I used two weeks ago, every page starts in a different place and / or is skewed on the page. Any suggestions?

SOLVED! Try this fix! The key is to fool the printer software into thinking it's printing on plain, not expensive glossy or heavy weight paper. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-printing-questions/Solved-All-in-Ones-Misalignment-on-Costco-or-H...

OfficeJet Pro 8000 no borderless printing on card stock via Windows driver

I just setup the OfficeJet Pro 8000 wireless printer the other day with the intent to print borderless cards on card stock. I can print anything to it without issue however if I attempt to use borderless mode the Windows driver does NOT allow any paper type other than photo or glossy borchure types.
If I print anyway on card stock it looks ink soaked and muddy. If I print on their recommeded types it looks fine but a card needs heavy card stock, not med or light paper weights.
If I do not select borderless, the print (on card stock) has a dredded border but the print quality is fine.
The driver will not allow even a "normal" or "draft" borderless on standard paper types. Is there a hack or modification to allow me to print borderless on any paper?
