When using the envelope printing function of Word, I am unable to get the
proper orientation. It prints the address sideways. I have a Brother HL1440
laser printer which has 4 different orientations in the printer setup and
there are 4 in word. I've tried all combinations. There aren't any problems
with other programs. MS-Publisher prints correctly. Brother doesn't have any
tech support so I'm hoping the problem is in word. I might mention that Word
also will print only one copy no matter how many copies I choose.
MS-Publisher will print 50 or 100 copies with no problem. I've downloaded
and installed the latest Brother drivers. Before I installed XP, I was
running Win 2000 and the printer worked ok. Is it Word, XP or the printer?

Hi Bob,

There's a similar problem with some Epson printer drivers, and Graham
Mayor has a page with a couple of solutions:

I edited the Registry and entered 3 for EnvFeed. It had been set to 4. This
turned it 180 degrees. I downloaded what is supposed to be the latest
HL-1440 driver and installed it. That changed the Registry entry to 0 and
there was no change in printing from the 3 that I had entered. I'll try 0
through 9 and see what happens. I backed up the Registry and set a new
restore point before starting this so a little trial and error won't hurt
anything. I'm thinking of simply getting another printer. Do you have the
link to MS supported hardware?

Hi Bob,

Start at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/catalog/. I don't know that it's
going to help, though, since the HL-1440 is on the list. :-(
