Unfortunately, that didn't solve the problem. The problem I am having is that when I set the correct paper size in OpenOffice (via the printer settings window), it adjusts the size of the document, but the image it actually sends to the printer is still an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet with the envelope on the wrong side. When I use the printer settings window in Word, the image sent to the printer is the correct size for the envelope.
