Default Printing on 3x5 cards

I have a huge HP 5000 LaserJet and a small Canon S830D photo inkjet. Neither one handles small forms well, such as 3x5 cards.

I'd like to be able to define the page size (in Word) as the actual paper size (3 x 5) so I can see a each page (card) on its own and have it print one page on each card. If I do that, both printers print the text in the wrong place on a standard letter-size (8.5 x 11) page.

The HP orients the text in the upper righthand corner of the letter page, but the paper guides align in the center. If I feed a 3x5 card, the text is all off the page. There doesn't seem to be any way to feed a 3x5 card correctly. But even it I adjust the page margins to force the etxt to be in the right place, the paper handling mechanism doesn't like such a small form. Jams are frequent.

The Canon orients the text in the center bottom of a letter page, but the guides align right. Again, if I feed a 3x5 card, the text os off the page. There doesn't seem to be any way to feed a 3x5 card correctly. If I adjust the margins, it works pretty well.

Any help would be much appreciated.



I'd also appreciate recommendatrions for a printer that can handle 3x5 cards without jamming.

PS: I have some of those micro-perf pages that have multiple cards/page. They are fine for some applications, but I really want to be able to print them one at a time.
