Printer prints where it feels like :-)

[Mint]

I am trying to print some business cards on an HP C4440.

It prints correctly in black and white on reg. paper but not on
business card stock.
It doesn't even print in the same place on business cards either.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Andy

Two things to consider:
Make sure you've selected the correct card stock in whatever program
you're using to create the cards and adjust the paper thickness in your
printer.

Thanks Jan.

I have already done #1.

Have to "experiment" on card thickness settings.

Never had to adjust that before when printing, but I am printing on an
HP.

Take care,

My first guess is that the stock is heavier than the maximum permitted
paper weight for the printer.

Note that bypass trays sometimes permit heavier stock than the regular
feed path. I don't know the specific printer to know if this might be
an option.

I will find another printer. (It's one of those all-in-one models)

Based on this and other experiences with multiple HP Printers and
Desktops, I have decided to never
buy any more HP products.

Both customers and manufacturers share in the blame for "throw-away
products".

Take care,
