I have managed to get card stock through "fairly" reliably (say, 90%
success) by feeding the card through the manual feed rails and pushing ever
so lightly on the trailing edge of the card, in such a way as to 'help' the
traction mechanism grab the card. If you do this, ad your card is long
enough to get to the fuser section of the printer, most of the time it
comes out printed, without jamming. Of course, open the 'straight paper
path' door, so the card does not have to go through the tortuous path it
usually follows!
As I say, this sort of works (from personal experience! :), but it can be
quite frustrating if you have to feed a lot of cards (I fed about 200 and
200 envelopes this way... ouch!).
