So, this paper is over twice as heavy (i.e., over twice as thick) as
your printer is rated for. Perhaps this is causing errors in the 'feed'
or 'transport' timing or whatever the system is called that carries the
paper through the machine in the right way so that the ink sprays where
it is supposed to. Maybe the machine ejects the page after only part of
it is printed because the heavier weight of the paper slows the transit
down, and the printer thinks it should have completed printing before it
actually does?

Wild conjecture.

Have you tried using the recommended maximum 90g paper? Does that work
properly?

cheers,
