I would say your printer how old is it? It could be from normal wear of usage of the printer. I just replaced my printer because it kept jamming my cardstock and also normal paper. (Get an all in one printer) Mine works great about 80 bucks from bestbuy mines called Hp deskjet F4180

First of all, choose an appropriate title for your threads. This is the second time that you started a thread titled "Help" and this is not helpful.

As for your problem, not all printers are made the same way. Some printers can handle heavyweight papers like cardstock without jamming while others don't. Yours obviously fall in the second category. You may need to get another printer that can handle cardstock.

Hmm, I get the same problem. Just insert a smaller amount of paper at one time, like 5 per load. That should fix the jamming problem.

My laser printer can't take card stock through the tray, I have to manually feed it in. Otherwise, it jams.

we've got a $500 Dell-All-In-One and it can only handle 6 pages of card stock, like Confucious T said, try putting less in the hopper and try again and if it still jams try to feed them 1 page at a time.
