OK, I have a Laserjet 4+, which is the predecessor to the 5 series. They even use the same toner cartridge, although probably there are differences in the driver. Just now I opened OOo 3.1.1 on Fedora 11 x86_64 (the OOo version, not the version from the Fedora repos). I created an envelope and typed a fictitious address. In Format > Page I set it to Envelope #10 and set the page orientation to landscape. When I printed it I set the printer properties to Envelope #10 and landscape orientation as well. I placed the blank envelope at the left edge of the manual feed tray, facing up, with the right edge of the envelope pointing in. I chose that way to put the envelope in the tray because HP thoughtfully provided an icon of an envelope stamped in the plastic showing me how to insert it. Other than a couple paper jams, it printed just fine. The paper jams reminded me why I never print envelopes on my laser printers. I don't know if that helps or not. >> For effective troubleshooting the process needs to be pared down to >> exactly at what point the problem appears.

I do remember a long time ago printing page size checks from Quickbooks on Windows to a Laserjet, and I had to put the checks in face down. Drove me nuts because I always forgot. Thank goodness someone invented debit cards and electronic bill pay. Sorry I can't offer any more suggestions. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
