I use envelope printing a lot. What I did is to create a couple of
templates for the two size envelopes I use. I made a logo with draw with
my return address, I adjusted the page size and wrote the field to be
fill with mail merge, create also a couple of frames to add pictures or
attn: and setup the printing features for my printer like format size,
feeding tray, no duplex, paper: envelope etc. Then save it as template. 

Now I want to print an envelope and just look at templates click and
done. 

If you want to go in that direction I can help you and even send you one
of my templates. I do not know if I can attach a template to a message
here if not I can e-mail.
