Default Print from Word to HP envelope feeder on LJ4000

The printer driver is set up and I have tried changing the tray options in
various combinations - but just can not get anything to feed from the
envelope feeder.
Paper feeds OK from Tray 1, Tray 2 and Tray 3 as required and the duplex
unit works ok also - just the envelope feeder will not work!!

I think this printer can print postscript (possibly with a different driver)

Thanks

Only suggestions:
a. if possible, make sure that your printer driver is set up (i.e.
independently of Word's settings) to get paper from the envelope tray
b. merge to an output document first, then see what tray the output is set
to (check more than one section in the output document). If necessary,
change the output tray for all the sections.

Do you know if this particular printer will accept Postscript as well as HP
PCL output?

I understand how to print envelopes one at a time on Tray 1 manual feed.

The problem is with an HP envelope feeder for my HP Laserjet4000 printer
which takes 75 envelopes and should feed automatically. This feeder show
a
paper source option under printer properties but when selected the printer
ignores it and just feeds ordinary paper! I want to be able to mailmerge
addresses direct to envelopes from Word. Any ideas please?
