I have bought nice Christmas cards and would like to know how to set up my
printer to print my name on these cards. I have a hp printer. Would
appreciate help, thank you

You're going to have some work ahead of you. You'll have to do some playing
with the settings to get your signature where you want it. Plus it's
terribly tacky to do that. If you care enough to send someone a card, you
should care enough to sign them personally.

rigns,
I have printer that allows me to feed a sheet of paper one at a time. If you
have this on your printer you can try the following.
1. Open the card and measure the card. Also get the measurement for the area
that you are going to add your signature, below the preprinted text of the
card.
2. Open a New Word document.
3. Under File> Page Setup> Set the document for Landscape and use the
measurements that you got in step#1.
4. Then create a table on the document 2X2.
5, Now resize the 2nd row to allow the preprinted material of the card, to
come through.
6. Place your signature in the 2nd row, 2nd column, center it.
7. Take a few blank sheets of paper and cut them to the same size as the
card.
8. With the test sheet in the feeder slot, if you printer has one. Select
File> Print> then compare it to the card> make any adjustments necessary.
Then print one card at a time.

I have used this process, when medical issues prevented me from hand signing
cards in the past. And it is sad the Microsoft is promoting worldwide
"tackiness", by adding envelope & letter templates with return address and
signature block features, or a spell-check feature to their MS Office
applications. Everyone should handwrite all their correspondences.
