Just downloaded openoffice.org cuz I can't afford Microsoft. I'm now on Windows XP. I have some kind of compaq computer (don't know what, my son bought it from a college buddy), and a Lexmark Z25 printer. I have no trouble printing otherwise. I just want to print an envelope only. I use insert>envelope, get the envelope box, filled in the addresses, didn't mess with the format, the printer listed as current was the Z25, doubled-checked my printer options for envelope, and hit 'new doc'. It won't print, says it can't turn my printer on and to check printer configurations. If I just create a document it will print that just fine. What am I doing wrong? (I don't know how to check 'printer configurations). Help please. Thanks.


After you click "New Doc" and can see the envelope loaded in openoffice, click File > Printer Settings and see if your Lexmark shows up there.

Also check the USB cable: I think the Lexmark printers use bidirectional control, and if the connection is loose or faulty, the computer may think it can't see the printer.
