Thanks, Tom. Fortunately, I was able to resolve the problem. It turned out that I had the wrong feed option selected for my printer. I changed it from Man. Envelope to Auto Select on the Printer tab of the Options sub-dialog of the Envelopes and Labels dialog, and I'm back in business. I

Your best course of action would be to decide which of the two screen readers you want to keep, and get rid of the other one. Why do you need both JAWS and Window Eyes on the same system? I am surprised that a state rehab agency would spend almost $2000 of taxpayer money on two screen
