envelope printing in works 8

mikki19 · Guest

Hi I have been at this for hours and can't seem to figure out what the
problem is. I am trying to print envelopes. I had to make a custom size for
my christmas cards and they print fine on regular paper, but as soon as I put
the envelope in it won't print the last inch or so of the address on the far
right side. I am so frustrated and I know it has to be something simple but
I have changed every setting I can think of and nothing helps.

Hi,

I use printer HP 812C.

It has no idea if I am using paper or envelope when printing, it just prints
where I told it to print.

In other words, if your address is printing okay on paper it should also
print okay on the envelope.

Here is what I suggest you try.

Lay your envelope on the paper, lay it in the same place it would be if
inserting into the printer, draw a pencil outline around the envelope.

Put the paper into the printer and print.

What is the result?

in the printer preferences because my printer kept pulling the envelope
through and giving me an error message saying that it wasn't the right paper
size. When I changed it to the custom size it takes the envelope ok but
still won't print the last inch of the wording. The paper printed fine when
outlining the envelope. I guess thats what I get for buying a printer with
brains!!

I, too, am having trouble printing envelopes. I printed about a dozen, then
when I came back to print more at a later time, my envelopes shoot through
the printer with the message "Print Cancelled". I had to press OK to tell
the printer to accept the different size, but when I do that I'm now getting
the message. It worked before but not now.

I'm using a HP Officejet 6310.
