envelope trouble
There have been problems reported printing envelopes to certain printers: I
think it was Lexmark. But it is normally a printer driver problem. -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "rkm79" wrote in message ... i was working with my computer today and when I printed an envelope it came out as symbols and numbers, not the words that I originally typed.

Yes, you could try that but previous posts suggest that HP are not updating
many drivers for older printers and many are not compatible with Vista and/or Office 2007. Terry "rkm79" wrote in message ... I have an HP Laserjet 1200, so I should try to update my driver then?

envelope trouble
I also have the same issue trying to print Envelopes. The formatting is
correct in terms of position but it prints symbols only ((@#*$(*)#@($). I have a hp laserjet 1200 printer and have the latest driver available from hp. Maybe a universal driver would work better. I will try this. By the way I'm running XP Pro SP2 so this is not a Vista issue but a Word 2007 issue.

So as suspected, this is an HP bug but they won't admit it. They think we
are all stupid. Terry "Alex Hartunian" Alex wrote in message ... Confirmed that you can resolve this issue by downloading the Universal Printer Driver from HP. I just went to hp.com and click on drivers and downloads on the homepage. From there I just put in my printer HP 1200 and selected my OS (XP Professional) and selected the option for PCL6 Universal Printer Drivers. You can go to your printers folder, right-click your printer and go to properties. Then in the Advanced tab select "New Driver". Make sure you download your Universal Printer driver first and uncompress the files to a folder first. Just point to the directory where you uncompressed your files and load the new driver. Hope this help you all! "Terry Farrell" wrote: Is it the same for any font set? Have you installed Office 2007 SP1? Terry "Alex Hartunian" Alex wrote in message ...
