Mel: Are you asking about printing the entire QSL card from blank stock, or printing data into pre-printed boxes on the front or back of a pre-printed QSL card?
I can do it easily fill in the boxes on my HP Officejet Pro K550 printer. The paper tray easily adjusts to hold and feed the pre-printed QSL cards. Very nice because you have full control of the font(s) used, their size, color, etc. The printer seems to have no trouble feeding the QSL size cards. However, you need to have a program that will let you format to the location of the boxes to print on the card, and also import the QSL data to fill in the boxes. These two things may take time.
