Cant print envelopes from mail merge

I am trying to print address on envelopes from a mail merge and my HP photosmart plus B210 keeps defaulting to the photo try even though I have selected main try and that is where the envelopes are. Please help, thanks!

Hi lacibk301 and welcome to the HP Forums.

Which Windows operating system am I running?
Is the Windows Version on My Computer 32-bit or 64-bit?
Also, does this issue occur when printing from any other programs, or only from Mail Merge?

  • Solution for printing Envelopes from iMac Pages FYI

    Hello All,
    About once a year I have tried to print envelops using Pages. I have been a mac user for 20 plus years, but have also been using windows with Word for just as long.
    I try this once a year at TAX time to print my envelops and usually just give up, fire up Parrallels and use Word LOL.
    I searched this site and there is no honest to God, Apple Written Solution for this problem with Pages.
    You simply cannot print envelops from Pages to an Hp Laserjet printer as the orientation of the envelope will be WRONG at least with SOME printers, although a very common printer.
    I am using Pages '09 version 4.3 and an iMac 27 inch running OS X 10.8.3 using an HP Laserjet 3200m connected via the network.
    When you create an envelop it looks fine on the screen but when you print it it expects the envelop to be loaded horizontally as opposed to vertically.  So you can't print a standard size envelop from Pages.
    I found this solution first posted by Ryan K. in 2009 and it is achieved. 
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1970267?start=0&tstart=0
    There is a discussion which follows his post and HIS method does work and is easy....
    Just use Preview from the print dialog (it opens your envelop in Preview) the print from Preview and the orientation will be correct.
    I read their discussion after his post but there is a lot of circular apple speak but no resolution.
    Just use the Preview Program.....
    (also I have a wide format Epson Photo Printer, and I have tried to use that for envelops and you can't. It gives an error.)
    Just My 2 Cents.

    2. if u r using the standard print pogram then copy this modify... as follows... call   the smartform 3 times.... by passing different output divice for each copy...
    u can do in this way

  • Officejet Pro 8610 printing envelopes from MS Word on MacBook Pro

    I have Officejet Pro 8610 that will not print envelopes from MS Word envelopes. Print preview shows all white. I've played with as many settings as I can find. Yesterday, tech support got it to print from pdf, but today it doesn't even do that.
    This question was solved.

    I deleted the printer in Mac system preferences, reset, then reloaded the printer driver using officejet rather than airprint. Works OK. Thanks.

  • I cannot print envelopes from my laptop.  I can only print envelopes from the host computre on the network.  Why?  What do I need to do?

    I cannot print evnelopes from my laptop on Pages.  I can only print envelopes from the host computer on the network.  What do I need to do to be able to print envelopes from the laptop?

    Not sure what you are saying, what printer? what laptop? what network? what have you tried? but it sounds like you do not have the printer driver for the printer you use, on your laptop.
    Find the make and model and go to their website and look for the Mac Printer software and install it.
    Perhaps you do have it installed but haven't found it. Look down the list next to Printer: in the print dialog.
    I assume you have found the envelope templates in Pages' Template Chooser?

  • HT2486 When I use my iPhone Siri for dialing, it is better to have the names in the address book listed singularly. But when I want to print envelopes from the address book in a formal manner - "Mr. & Mrs. Smith". Is there any way to have both options?

    When I use my iPhone Siri for dialing, it is better to have the names in the address book listed singularly. But when I want to print envelopes from the address book in a formal manner - "Mr. & Mrs. Smith". Is there any way to have both options?

    Only way I can figure is having double entries one with singular + some unique field, (maybe called Siri), then making a Smart group for one or both.

  • Can you print envelopes from Contact?

    Can you print envelopes from Contact?

    macjack, thanks again
    I followed your instructions, but when you check on any of the presets and look at what can and cannot be "preset" you see that these are the standard print settings, and have nothing to do with the dialogue box choices that you have when you first select the Style "Envelopes" when printing from Contacts.
    file://localhost/Users/chvsteve/Desktop/Contacts%20envelope%20print.tiff
    (Hopefully when I send this reply, the screen shot I took of the screen I am writing about will appear in this message)
    The "Presets" dropdown menu above under the "Printer" dropdown menu only refers to regular print dialogue box options and not those you can select under "Layout", "LAbel" or "Orientation" from the special dialogue box for printing envelopes from Contacts.
    And it is these settings that I woul dlike to fix in a preset so I don't have to repeat them every time I want to print an envelope or a label from COntacts.
    Any ideas on fixing these options into a preset?
    Of should I finally break down and learn something about AppleScripts and use them in a situation like this?

  • VERY slow print with CS5 mail merge

    Creating a newsletter in CS5 Indesign.  Using "mail merge".  Total database is 900 names.  Tried using in blocks of 100 at a time and still takes at least an hour to print.  Is there a way to reduce resolution or something to cut print time?  Printing both sides of 11x17 black/white on Minolta Postcript printer.

    It's simply to do with the amount of data which is going to the printer/RIP. Assuming the newsletter was two pages, then over 900 records means that 1800 pages are going to the printer/RIP. It's the equivalent of printing a dictionary.
    Assuming that the Minolta printer is a desktop printer being merged to via merge to Print, then the option I would take is to make the InDesign file as lightweight as possible e.g. make sure images placed are no larger in resolution than they need to be, etc. Its not something that could really be done through the print dialog box as there aren't enough options to choose from.
    Otherwise, could merge to a PDF first and then choose the downsample options prior to the merging of the file.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to clear image in sender label to print envelopes from Address Book

    Hello!
    I had been printing envelopes for greeting cards using Address Book. I had always ignored the "Image" option under "Label" for the +sender's information+. Today I decided to explore this option and clicked on "Set". Then I chose a picture from my "Pictures" folder. It looks nice and I was able to change the picture several times, but now _I do not want any "image" in the sender's label_.
    *How do reset the "Image" to none?*
    Thank you in advance for your assistance!
    Osk Asks

    Hello captfred! Thank you for your reply. I tried to do what you suggested but it seems that it only works for cards in my contacts or for my own card. My problem is within the settings under label when I am printing from Address Book.
    This is how I have been doing it:
    1) Select a contact or a group of contacts
    2) Click on File on the top of the screen and then select Print
    3) A window pops up and there I can choose whether I want to print an envelope, a list, or mailing labels
    4) In that same window is where I clicked on "Image" and "Set"
    5) Finally I click on "Print" on the bottom right corner and I get neat envelopes with my address (sender) and the recipients (my contacts)
    I hope this helps you to help me!
    Thanks in advance!

  • Email PDF from Mail Merge Problem

    Using a data source of email addresses from Excel 2003 and performing a mail merge in Word 2003 with the Mail Merge to Adobe PDF button, everything worked okay and the emails generated to the outbox in Outlook 2003 with the relevant PDFs attached.  However, once they were mailed the recipients who use Outlook Express had the attachments missing.  I'm using Acrobat 8.1.5
    I've seen previous queries about this and it seems to relate to Outlook using a RTF format.  I set Outlook to default to html and then plain text formats but still had the same problem. Can anyone suggest how I can solve this or if the problem is Outlook related, then another email program that would work without causing this problem (preferable freeware or inexpensive).
    Thanks

    Just an interesting after thought, since you mentioned blocking. Several federal agencies and companies block zip files also. I ran onto a message recently about the university blocking zip files at one time because of a problem. Mail merge files are typically personalized and it would be nice for them to go intact. If they re not personalized, but just being sent in general, then posting the basic file and e-mailing a link might work better. For a lot of things I do, I just use the mail merge that is built into my e-mail client. That creates a mail-merge of messages that are personalized.
    Just thought the blocking comment might be of interest, though I give the same advice. I am not sure how it could be done with zip in a mail merge sense.

  • How do I change the font and return address when mass printing envelops from contacts?

    I am trying to print envelopes for holiday cards from my contacts book. I want to change the return address name ( from Jane Doe to the Doe Family) in a nice font that is appropriate for the holiday season rather than the board room. It is certainly not in the print details menu.

  • Any easy way to print envelopes from photo tray?

    I have a new C309 printer that works well printing from three different PCs.  What I want to do is load the photo tray with a few #10 envelopes so that I can print one without having to change out paper in the main tray.
    The problem is, by the time I make the changes to Properties to print from the photo tray, I might as well have swapped things in the main tray.  (I have to declare that I'm printing postcards or it won't let me specify the photo tray).
    Does anyone have a suggestion for how to multiplex between printing letters and printing envelopes?

    Address Book itself has the ability to print out labels - I'm not sure whether you have OS X 10.4 or 10.5, but there are more options in 10.5. From Address Book, select your desired addresses (or make a group of them and select that) and go to File - Print. You'll see the label options there.

  • Problems printing envelope from pdf file with logo & return address.

    I have the 6310 All-In-One Printer. I am experiencing major problems printing envelopes (standard size, #10) from a pdf file that is setup with a business logo, name , and address. First of all, the User Guide on page 63 directs you to load the envelope with the flaps up and on the left. This prints out return address in the lower right corner of the envelope front. I have insert the envelope opposite to the User Guide to get the information printed in the correct location, the upper left corner.
    Bigger problem - The logo, which is placed to the left of the business name and address will NOT print out. My preview printer window shows the logo, but it will not print. I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong.
    Suggestions???

  • Printing envelopes from address book always has a second page

    When I print an address onto an envelope from address book, it always has a second page without any text on it even though I only want to print the address. So I have to select print 1 of 1 from my print options. Is there a way to eliminate this phantom second page?

    Without actually seeing the screens you open on your system to set this up and print, it's hard to offer any ideas for a fix, since I cannot reproduce it on my system. Can you post links to screen shots here of these different windows from your system?
    And are you running 10.5.3, or have you updated to 10.5.4 yet?
