printing envelopes

[Kelley Garcia]

has anyone experienced problems printing out envelopes? Print
preview looks good, printer feeds paper, but it comes out blank. I have
done all the latest updates to Office X (10.1.5). My print settings are
custom with a #10 envelope.
I have also tried printing a regular Word document, which prints out
fine.
Thanks in advance for any help

I had a particular problem printing envelopes from Word to
my LaserJet1200 printer...the printer feeds envelopes in
the center and the printing was coming out at the side, as
for side-fed envelope feeder. This is a known bug I think.
But unless you have a similar printer with a similar
problem you have could be a completely different thing.

Hi Kelley,

<sigh> I hate these envelope printing issues. There doesn't seem to be an
easy or even a single solution. The problem *might* be with your Custom
setting. See the post I've reproduced below my signature. If that doesn't
help, do a Google Advanced Newsgroups Search on this group for "printing
envelopes" (no quotes). You'll find other possibilities there.

I am having a major problem trying to print envelopes. The problem is when
I create the envelope, the text appears in the "on-screen" envelope.
However, when I print preview, there is not text. Does anyone have a clue
as to what the heck is going on? I would appreciate anyone's assistance.
This problem is more than a little aggravating! Thank you kindly.

I had sort of the same problem. When I selected a envelope from the
File > Page Setup, the print margins were huge, much bigger then need
be. The margins weren't adjusted until I chose Format > Document, but
they were there in the print preview and in printing.

I solved this by selecting Microsoft Word from the above mentioned Page
Setup menu. Microsoft Word is available from the top left pull down menu
in Page Setup. In the Microsoft Word menu, I chose "Custom" and uncheck
the box "use custom format". I clicked OK. Then I got back in Page
Setup. chose Microsoft Word again and clicked "Default". Now it works
perfectly.

My setup: Word 2001, OS9.1, HP Deskjet 970cxi

Hope this helps.

thanks again to the suggestions made for trying to get MS Word to
print out enveolpes in OS X. Unfortunately, I still could not print out
envelopes. I then went back to Google and did more searches. I found
something that worked for me. I won't take credit for it, but I will send
the link. http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-
