Printing envelopes with merge

[Steve S]

I printed a few hundred letters with merge without any problem, but when i
try to print the envelopes, only 2 print at a time, even though i give a
range of 1-200

You will need to be more specific about what you are doing. Are you merging
the envelopes with the original data source? Are you merging to the printer
or trying to print the merged envelope document? Did you include the
envelopes in the letter merge?
Which Word version.

I am merging the envelopes with the original data source to the printer using
word 2003. I have done this before without any problem at all.
Thanks

I have not been able to reproduce the problem using an envelope template
(which you can download from my web site) and a large Outlook data file.
What happens if you merge to a new document? Does that new document contain
all the envelopes?
If it does, what happens when you print that document?
Try turning off background printing in tools > options > print

I turned off background printing and also noticed the printer was on manual
feed, which I changed to auto detect. It works fine so I'm not sure what the
problem was, but thanks for your help
