Hello everyone: I'm experiencing some problems with both WordPerfect and OpenOffice in that I can't print envelopes (basic #10 business envelope) under either program. As both programs use the same computer/printer, I thought it might be a common driver problem but as WP uses a different driver from OO, I don't think that's the problem. Under WP, when I use the envelope feature, WP goes through all the menus and (on screen) appears to be sending the job to the printer but nothing happens - no error messages or anything - it simply doesn't print. Under OO, the text does print but it is like there's a default in the background that treats the envelope like a full page and the text appears at the top of the page. I have checked the defaults under both 'generic printer' and 'kprinter' (I know, OO defaults to A4 paper size). I'm now thinking of creating a really simple envelope in a draw program that I can leave on the desktop and simply open it, enter the addressee, and print. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I find it hard to believe that both WP and OO can't perform what is a basic word processing function. Thanks for the help. Cheers,
I've been printing #10 envelopes for years in both StarOffice and OpenOffice with no problems. I have a page format of: user, width=9.44, height=4.09 and it works fine. I print them in landscape-simplex mode. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
