Hello:
After trying to print a "simple" envelope and reading the help, docs and archived mail messages. I've got one thing to say about OpenOffice's ability to print them... BooooOOOooGUS... Or is that BOOOooooOOOgus.
It's the ONLY thing left about MS Office that I use. Can't I JUST enter the addresses and PRINT???? PLEEEEEEEASE!!!
Hi Dave,
There were known problems with certain printers for earlier versions of OpenOffice.org. Otherwise, have a look on the OOo Knowledgebase (mindmeld.cybersite.com.au) to see how the envelopes print. Otherwise, let us know some more detail regarding your problem - OS, OOo version, printer etc.

That only the world of printing from OOo were so calm and peaceful.
There ARE, not _were_, known problems printing envelopes on any printer more complex than the HP, Sharp, Panasonic throwaways. I own an HP4000 and a Xerox Phaser 860. Any version of OOo is unusable on either of them for printing envelopes. Period. I'll spare you the part about how printing(!) to the Xerox results in the original document being trashed.
I have tried every suggestion without consistent results. I have filed several reports each with several examples that have produced nothing more than a few well meaning replies on this list but no fixes in the product. Fact is, the developers appear to be clueless on the matter of printing envelopes and their lack of real progress in this area suggests they are hoping for a miracle rather than a design solution. In which regard, I wonder if a shaman from the nearby Mescalero Apache reservation would be beneficial to my case. Nothing else has worked.
FWIW, I work around this glaring envelope printing deficiency by using window envelopes and I have discontinued printing to the Xerox from OOo.
