Probably not, but what is going wrong? Are you getting the envelopes, but
the wrong way round or stretched vertically or horizontally, or are you just getting one envelope, or are they going to the wrong tray, or what? Sometimes with supposedly "special" sizes I find it is easier to set the paper size for the envelopes to your standard paper size (letter or A4) and lay out the envelope in the part of the paper that makes it print correctly given the way you have to load the paper stock. But that may not work either if the driver/printer insists that the correct paper size actually has to be loaded before it will print. Peter Jamieson "TomTom625" wrote in message ...

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? |

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? Peter Jamieson "TomTom625" wrote in message ...

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 "Peter Jamieson" wrote: 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).

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! Peter Jamieson "TomTom625" wrote in message ...

A few more questions: I re-read your message and I get the impression you
cannot print to the envelope tray at all (at first I thought it was just during an envelope merge). Is that correct? If so, a. does it make any difference what paper (envelope) size you specify? b. have you tried printing to the envelope tray from another application (e.g. Notepad or Wordpad)? Does that work? Which version of Windows are you using? Do you have the latest version of the drivers? (Incidentally, I visited HP's site at www.hp.com but the LJ4000 support pages seemed to be missing - is that also your experience?) Peter Jamieson "TomTom625" wrote in message ...
