Default Print from Word to HP envelope feeder on LJ4000

OK, not sure I can help further on this one as, but will have a look in a
day or so when I am in a better position to do so. If you think there is a
Postscript alternative that you can try, please try it!

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?
