Decal-making with HP inkjet printers and Testors decal kit

I bought a basic Testors decal making kit (2 sheets of decal paper, software, spray fixative) to get started at making my own decals. Laying out the graphics was easy enough (didn't even use their software) but my HP 1510 printer won't feed the decal paper through. It jams every time. Has anyone had success with this? Should I be using a different brand of decal paper or is this printer just not good for the job? Like most low end HP inkjets, the paper comes out directly above where it goes in. That means that it has to do a tight 180 turn in the process and maybe the decal paper is just too stiff to do that.
The modeler's rule of thumb: The worse it smells, the better it works!
