I had a few unsuccessful bouts of trying to get envelopes to work in OOo
1.1.4 Linux. Then, I created a label template (as someone on this list
suggested in an earlier thread) - *not* an envelope template and that
prints directly on my envelopes just dandy on my HP Deskjet.

Hi there,
One of our clients says he is going nuts trying to print envelopes
in Open Office. Can you point us in the right direction?
Try the following procedure:
1. Open OOo Writer
2. Insert Envelope
3. On the Envelope tab, enter your address info.
4. On the Format tab, set Size > Format to DL. Adjust layout to
suit.
5. On the Printer tab, Select the layout that reflects how to
feed.
6. On the same tab, you next, click on Setup. This opens a new
dialogue.
7. On the Setup dialogue, select your printer and click
Properties. 8. On the Properties dialogue, select the envelope size
in the dialogue.
9. Same dialogue, select Orientation. This depends on how your
envelope feeds (see step 5) In any case, landscape means that
the text is rotated 90 degrees so that it is parallel to the
envelope and vice versa for portrait.
10. If you have a manual feed tray, select this under Device.
11. Click OK
12. Click OK
13. Select New Doc if you only want the envelope or insert to add
it to your existing doc. I tested with New Doc.
14. In the new window, check that all is okay and click the print
icon.
Now you have an envelope.
This may seem a bit complicated but it is historical. If you would
like OOo print setup to set the printer too, please vote for

Skipping steps 6 through 12 will cause you no end of problems.
Thanks for the link. Envelope printing in OOwriter is so brain dead that
I keep WP8 running in VMware/Windows, in part, just to do
address's/envelopes.
