I have not had particularly good luck feeding thick paper of any
sort through my LaserWriter II NTX (Apple printer).  Anything thicker
than basic 20# bond seems to get stuck.

I don't expect to be able to put cardboard through the printer, but
I'd like to be able to feed postcards through, for example, or some
cover stock of some sort.  Has anyone had luck with this?  Is there
any kind of adjustment that can be made to the printer to loosen its
constraints on paper thickness?

The paper always seems to jam as it gets to the fuser, if that helps.
It's not an exit jam, and the imaging is almost always accomplished
by the time it jams.  But it's usually 100% reproducible (the jam,
that is).

Thanks for any help.  Sorry to post to this newsgroup, but I have a
pretty limited newsfeed, and I don't get comp.laser-printers.jams or
whatever the appropriate group might be.

Thanks,
 Glenn
