I tried that. The document is printed as 8 1/2 x 11 even when I set the printer settings to No 10 Envelope. The shape of the document changes to No. 10 envelope in OpenOffice, but does not print that way--even though the printer settings dialogue is set to No 10 Envelope. The result is it always prints on the empty space to the left of the envelope in the feeder. When I try to get it to print by using 8 1/2 x 11 settings and just position the labels on the right side, the printer refuses to print with the wrong paper size setting.
