How do I print a postcard on a pre-stamped postcard?
Setup your page as a postcard, just be sure you feed the stock correctly when
you print. Are you going to merge? -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "windowsidiot" wrote in message ... |

How do I print a postcard on a pre-stamped postcard?
Mary, I'm not sure what "merge" means. I'm just trying to print notices of a
move on pre-stamped postcards, but when I go to the print options, the only choice comparable in size is a small envelope (i.e. no postcard choice) on the Dell printer. I printed one card, but it was off-center, and only a quarter of it was readable. Now everytime I try another, I get the message "no paper in printer" eventhough there is a card in the manual envelope feed.

How do I print a postcard on a pre-stamped postcard?
windowsidiot was very recently
heard to utter: Mary, I'm not sure what "merge" means. I'm just trying to print notices of a move on pre-stamped postcards, but when I go to the print options, the only choice comparable in size is a small envelope (i.e. no postcard choice) on the Dell printer. Are you running the latest drivers from Dell? Is there a Custom page size option? I printed one card, but it was off-center, and only a quarter of it was readable. That's because Publisher was told that the paper size was not what it actually was (it probably thought it was Letter or A4 size), and so set up the page to print in the middle of the larger page. Now everytime I try another, I get the message "no paper in printer" eventhough there is a card in the manual envelope feed. That's probably because your printer is looking for A4 or Letter-sized paper, of which it has none. Or possibly there's a paper jam. -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://ed.mvps.org/ |

How do I print a postcard on a pre-stamped postcard?
This is a brand-new Dell computer and printer, so I assume I'm running the
latest drivers from Dell. As for custom page options, I don't see any. My choices run from Legal/Letter to A4/B5 to envelopes.

How do I print a postcard on a pre-stamped postcard?
I take that back about the "custom page options." In "page setup" I have
entered 5.5" x 3.5" as my "custom" size, and in "printer and paper" the closest paper size I see is "envelope 7 3/4" for "size," and for "source," I have chosen "man. envelope" with "orientation" set on "landscape."

windowsidiot was very recently
heard to utter: This is a brand-new Dell computer and printer, so I assume I'm running the latest drivers from Dell. No, you are not. Please feel free to read an old response of mine (copied and pasted from Google Groups). The computer is mass-produced on a production line. The hard drive is filled with data from a master disk, and that master disk does not change often. Every time it changes, they have to go through a long testing procedure to make sure it works - which they don't like to do very often. They cannot afford the time or money to change it every time a new driver comes out (each piece of hardware in the system has a driver, and new ones are being developed all the time). Also, even if they did this, if a new driver were released after the machine left the factory but before you bought it, (which, given the amount of time the machine will sit on a shelf before you buy it, is quite likely), you would not have the latest drivers on your brand new machine. As for custom page options, I don't see any. My choices run from Legal/Letter to A4/B5 to envelopes. Look for newer drivers for your printer. -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://ed.mvps.org/ |
