If you search the archive of this list, you'll probably find well over
100 posts on this subject. Briefly, if you're one of the elect, you set
a few settings and then Insert Envelope works. If you're like the rest
of us, that may be quite a challenge or never work. But setting up an
address label the size of an envelope worked quite nicely for me for
both US letter and legal size envelopes. Then I saved them as templates
for reuse.

I have just recently downloaded Open Office. I have been trying to
find some information on printing Envelopes one at a time. The help
files do not have a section on printing envelopes. All I can get is
sent to Printing, which does not give me information enough about
setting up envelope printing. I have tried several envelopes and can
not get them to print correctly. It seems that there should be a
tutorial someplace that would walk a "newbee" through the process. I'm
using Win 2000Pro and a HP 1012 Lasser Jet printer. The size of
envelope that I am most interested in printing is A6, which I believe
is 6 3/8 long, and 3 5/8 wide, and Business #10. I have tried both
portrait & landscape, but nothing seems to work. I would appreciate
your help on this.
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superseded by newer models - which has a feed for DL envelopes down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

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'.
