I don't know, this seems odd to me.  My Epson 2200 easily handles (through
the rear slot) 300 or even 500 gsm paper and I can't imagine the 8387 card
stock is that thick.  So it is unlikely that "no Epson printer will take
that stock".  Does the Avery package state the gsm of the stock or its
thickness?

Was he specifically stating that no Epson printer can take the card stock
through the feeder on the top of the machine?  Perhaps that is what he meant
because depending on the thickness of the paper I definitely need to use the
rear (manual feed) slot.

Does the 220 have a manual paper feed slot?  If it can handle CDs, maybe it
does?  (Sorry I don't have this printer.)  You might want to try that if it
has one.
