Envelope printing
I am trying to print about 200 envelopes that are 6" by 9" on an HP LJ 1012.
It is an Excel file that I am printing using the mail merge function of MS Word. After much messing with this, I was finally able to get the mailing addresses to print on the envelopes. However, the return address is not printing because MS Word says that it is out of the print area. I chose the right size envelope, everything looks to be formatted correctly, and the drivers on my LJ are up to date, but I am getting frustrated that I can't figure out how to fix this. Any thoughts? Thank you. |

Envelope printing
Each printer has it's own printable area. First place your cursor in
the return address and go to File/Page Setup and click OK. If prompted with a printable area message asking you to either Fix or Ignore then click Fix. If that doesn't work then try adjusting the space before the Return address on the main document: - Place your insertion point in the first line - Go to Format/Paragraph - In the Space Before section add some points of space, perhaps start with 12 - 18 pts Take a look at it in Print Preview and make the necessary adjustments.

Envelope printing
Thank you, but that didn't work either. When I tell the program to "Fix", it
moves the return address to the top middle of the envelope instead of to the top left. I then try to change the left parameter to 0.5", but Word always comes back and wants to "Fix" the margin to the middle of the envelope. Of course, if I say "Ignore", then the return address doesn't print. Either this is a bug or I am missing something. Any thoughts? "Beth Melton" wrote: Each printer has it's own printable area.

Envelope printing
This could be due to a bug in the HP printer driver. Create a new
document and go to File/Page Setup, change all margins to 0" and when prompted click the "Fix" command. If the bottom margin is set to 2.67" then your envelope issue is caused by a bug in the printer driver. You should be able to download a beta driver that corrects the issue from: http://www.hp.com/pond/ljbeta/index.html Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

Envelope printing
Beth,
Thank you very much. I will go ahead and try that. Last night, I went ahead and printed the envelopes w/o the return address. However, I have another mailing going out soon, so need to figure this out. Appreciate you. Alan "Beth Melton" wrote: This could be due to a bug in the HP printer driver.
