The problem is not the printer driver. Envelopes used to print correctly for me in an earlier version of OpenOffice. Something happened in either openOffice 3.2 or LibreOffice 3.3 that is causing the printing issue with envelopes. Note that, as I mentioned, documents printed on letter-size paper all print without a problem. I just see this issue when I try to print on envelopes (though I've not tried printing labels, so I cannot comment on whther label printing works). -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
