Printer misaligns approx every other page.
Canon G6020. Printing from Adobe Acrobat or Word.
I print a lot of stickers on my printer (I love it), except that about every other page will print misaligned with the stickers. Any tips on this aside from printing one sheet at a time? Really does not seem like I should have to deal with this using an otherwise great printer. Thanks!

If this is a thicker paper or label stock with the backing paper attached, your printer is probably having a tough time grabbing onto the paper and feeding it through consistently. That printer is only rated to handle up to 53 lb. weight specialty paper. Make sure you are using the rear feed tray instead of the regular paper tray. You might check the printer for a Paper Type of Media Type setting to see if there is an option for thicker paper. Also, make sure you also select the same corresponding paper/media type on your computer in the print screen. You can also unplug the printer and try inspecting the gripper rollers that pull the paper from the tray for any signs of dust or debris which might reduce their grip. If necessary, carefully clean these rollers with some isopropyl alcohol to help restore them.
Thanks! I only use the regular paper tray...I’m going to start using the rear and see what happens. Cheers.
