Hi Wayne I see that no-one else has replied to you, so I will see if I can help. Like you, I value the ability to print envelopes - it gives a good professional look. However, I have had to persevere with the envelope function to find the correct setting for various envelopes. They may not be the ones you would expect. I have always been able to print the European DL envelopes with no problems. Other sizes are a bit more of a challenge. It really isn't much help me telling you my settings as your printer may not work the same way as mine. I have an HP Deskjet 610C - long superseded by newer models - which has a feed for DL envelopes down the right side of the paper feed and expects the envelope to be face down. Bigger envelopes go through the ordinary paper feed, face down. The trick is to get the address in the right place and correctly orientated with respect the flap. The best way to find out what a particular setting is doing is to print on a full size sheet of paper, then by trial and error, adjust the setting until the address prints correctly for the envelope. Of course, you may find that nothing prints. This can, sometimes be corrected with settings. But it may be a bug as I don't think the printing of all envelope sizes has been thoroughly tested. By the way, I don't know what you mean by an A6 envelope. Here in the UK 'A' sizes are for paper, the commonest being A4 (210mm x 297mm). Envelopes are 'C' sizes. C6 takes A4 folded in half. C5 takes A4 folded in half, turned and folded again. See http://home.inter.net/eds/paper/ Best of luck with your envelope printing. You will find the help for envelopes easiest if you click on the Index tab and search for 'envelopes; inserting'.
