I don't know if that would work or not, or if the paper handling arms of the printer are wider than 3" so that they would not grip the cards coming thru. Someone recently posted something about using erasers as shims around 3x5 cards in the 4圆 photo tray to hold them securely, and then making sure that whatever word processor you're using mapped out the appropriate 3x5 print area on the 4圆 paper size on your computer screen.
That's why the Best Buy salesman, not knowing any better, told me the machine would do 3x5 cards.
The menu says it does, because HP put the same menu software onto this machine that it put on machines that do take 3x5 cards. But my head has hit brick walls so often in the last 24 hours that I've been converted to the negative view and require evidence to be converted back. I would love to be proven wrong - for a long time I assumed I was. So the simplest explanation seems to be that it doesn't support 3x5 cards and that HP just included it in the printer screen menu software because it was too much trouble to prune it from that list. Meanwhile, the website and HP live chat "expert" Kush both say the 5660 does not support 3x5 cards. But until you can show me where HP definitively and officially says that is the case, the only evidence that that is so seems to be the listing of 3x5 cards on the printer screens paper choice menu. So, to summarize, if the specs do indeed say the 5560 can handle 3x5 cards, then I'd assume it must be able to. And success feeding one card in wouldn't guarantee success with the next. So there would still be 1/4" of wiggle-room on either side that can make for a bad feed - and a bad print job. One can more-or-less center 3x5 cards width-wise between the guides, but it is physically impossible to fulfill the second requirement noted in the instructions: "gently slide the paper width guides inward so that the y lightly rest against the edges of the cards". But it seems to assume no cards smaller than 4圆, since it assumes the width guides can be closed to rest against the edges of the cards and the physical guides don't close to a width smaller than 4". It's true that the instructions URL you referenced says to center index cards. 10 envelopes.") When you said, 'The specs say 3" x 5" to 8.5" x 14",' what spec sheet were you quoting from.
