Unfortunately this does not work either. Must be because the driver is not from Ubuntu's list of printers but from me installing the driver manually, as I mentioned before. I hate to say it, but in MS with writer it operates as it should. I only mention this in that it is not a 'quirky' printer. It wants envelopes fed in longways, from the centre face up as the guides move synchronously.
