Just some notes, mostly for myself, but hopefully useful to others to ...

I was trying to use my HP PSC2410 printer to print on very dark (chocolate-brown) card stock, from my Apple PowerBook laptop. I used Powerpoint to layout the text and graphics, then in the print menu, I had to do a lot of twiddling -- otherwise the dark paper would confuse the printer and it would claim to be jammed or out of paper.

In Powerpoint I set it for "US Letter" ... which it considered 7.5x10in (landscape mode)

In Printer Options, I set the following:

* under "Paper Handling": click on "Use documents paper size: Borderless photo 8.5x11in." (No, this does not appear to jive with what Powerpoint thinks, but this is what I found that works)
* under "Borderless Printing": click on "Print borderless" (i.e. turn it on)
* under "Paper Type/Quality":
** on the "Paper" tab: select "Paper Type" as "HP Premium Plus Photo", select "Quality" as "Best", select "Color" as "ColorSmart III", and select "Source" as "Upper Tray"
** on the "Digital Photo" tab: turn all the fancy options off, or set the sliders all the way to the left (which should say "Off")
