I got a reply direct to my email from someone called "Gabiene" which somehow did not appear here, so here's that along with my response:

Hello, Gabiene –
I am unable to find the actual lb weight of the paper anywhere in the printer settings. The tray has been set up with “lightweight glossy cardstock” as the indicated paper type. As soon as I select this as a paper type, the staple option immediately becomes greyed out in the print settings. I cannot even print one page with a staple through it. This is a new limitation for us, as we were able to print on this same type of paper with staples with our old printer, a Workcentre C70. I’m wondering if this is a setting we need to adjust somewhere, or if the finisher can’t handle firing staples through glossy paper and we purchase a different one.
Thanks.
