Open the software for your printer and make necessary adjustments. Some have a special postcard printing template that you can use. Others will ask you to manually put in the measurements of what you are trying to print. If this is the case, for height, put in 6, and for width put in 11. If you want your postcard to be taller than it is wide, put 11 in for the height and 6 in for the width.

Tips & Warnings
You may want to print only one postcard to start to make sure that you have aligned the cards properly in your printer. If it prints properly, then start the print process again with the amount you want. If it does not print properly, try aligning the cards again.
When you adjust the paper guides in your printer, make sure you don't do it too tight. It should be flush, but not enough to hold the cards back. Making the guides too tight against the card can prevent the cards from going into the feeder.
