Okay, moved the hygrometer to the dorm. A few observations: 1) Readings here, by themselves, made more sense. I was getting a read of about 37-40% relative humidity. 2) That still means my bedroom at home is more humid than I thought, which is good because that's where I'm keeping the large podocarp I bought, although I'm still a bit surprised about this. 3) Assuming it IS off by 10 points, as per the calibration test, that means my dorm is actual 47-50% relative humidity and the bedroom is like, 60ish. Which I still think is high since 4) Humidity is about 10 points higher about a foot away from the window than two feet away, which makes a lot of sense since that's where I have my plants and the window acts like a giant condenser plate.

After you fold your paper, let's say vertically. See where the crease in the paper falls on the numbered graph. My vertical crease falls on one notch below the center square figure so on the vertical box in the calibrate printer window I typed -1 Below box are minus numbers, above are the + numbers. Where ever your paper crease fell that's the number you put in. Luckily my horizontal was creased right at the center, so I put nothing in that box. I use all Avery products and print postcards and labels without any problems. I do a check first before printing good copy by using plain paper and Draft printing choice first. Hold the test printed page over the card stock and see if each card or label lines up before using the good stock and Best printing ink option.

Perhaps the settings were off straight from the factory. Mine were.

He should have called you back but since he didn't, you should go ahead and call them back. I doubt NJ is an issue - they should service appliances all over the country. Products do sometimes have initial problems - you're under warranty - call them back and have them schedule a service call.
