Cdubyah Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 You could try changing the paper type properties.I'm assuming that you are trying to print the template from Word.Goto File>PrintShould bring up a print window. There should be a properties button there. Click that. Click on the Printer / Quality Tab. change the "Type is" from Plain to cardstock or heavy.

Cdubyah Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 I see that I misread your first post.I thought that it didn't print at all. Missed the one side only....hmmmmAre your printer properties set for auto feed or manual?Do you have a manual bypass tray on that printer?
