Envelope sizes

I use various card programs such as Hallmark. Want to print half fold card envelope size (8 5/8W x 5 5/8H). My HP 2540 does not give me any print envelope size choice that is near this. How can I do this? Can I custom size envelopes? How? I bought this printer because it is top load and envelopes and card stock don't tend to jam.

Envelope sizes and Beginner Questions

-I want to print on envelopes that are 3 5/8 x 6 1/2. How do I modify the existing templates in '08 to accommodate the change in envelope size? Or is there another approach I should take?
-I'm very new to iWorks and WP in general. I'm looking for iWorks assistance for a BEGINNER, help that doesn't assume an understanding of WP terminology and basics. The "Getting Started" booklet scratches the surface, but doesn't help much. I realize that it's too soon for an "iWork for Dummies" or "Missing Manual" but I'm wanting to get started and need some references.
- Thanks! -

What I did was create a custom template based on what you described. Here is how I did it:
1. Open a blank document in Pages
2. Use the page set up menu to define a custom size (6.5 in wide by 3.53 tall)
3. Inserted two Text boxes. One for the return address and one for the addressee
4. Saved as template.
When you open this, you will need to type both addresses. I just didn't type the return address prior to saving the template.
Hope this helps...

Spell checker - unrecoverable error / envelope sizes

Probably due to microsoft updates ...
spell checker no longer works in Star
Office (unrecoverable error notice). I
have to cut and paste into word, then
check spelling, then return text to Star
Office.
Also envelope sizes do not print. Over
the years I have had problems like this
and they can usually be sorted out by
changing size + landscape/portrate
settings. However, this is the worst
envelope problem I have had.
Even if I simply try to create text on a
separate A5 sheet this is not what is
produced by the printer. My printer is not
the cause - though obviously if
uncontrolled updates have affected the
printer software then that could be the
reason.
Any solutions? It is so irritating when
things have been running so smoothly
for months even years, then suddenly big
problems arise due to 'improvements' in
software.

Mismatch envelope size officejet pro x64

I'm trying to print on Invitation Envelopes size 4 3/8 x 5 3/4 using Print Shop or Printmaster softwear. There is no size envelope equal on the list for my printer, Officejet Po 9620. I get mismach paper size error. Is there a way to bypass the printer's scan for size paper or a way to include the size I'm using from the preselected list by HP.
Sometimes I can get someting to print but the return address is about 1/4' too low.

Acrobat 8.1 PDFmaker won't print envelope size pages

Vista Home Premium 32-bit
Acrobat 8.1.3 Professional
Word 2007
I create mail-merged #10 envelopes in Word 2007 and then use PDFmaker to create a PDF of the result of the mail-merge. The resulting PDF has a number of pages each the size of a #10 envelope.
This has worked for years, until today.
Now, the pages in the PDF created from PDFmaker are 8.5"x11" with the "envelope area" centered in the document.
I can not find any possible reason for this or any solution in this forum - I have tried a number of solutions for other problems listed in this forum and this has not fixed the problem.

Have you checked if the Adobe PDF printer has Envelope 10 paper size.
if it doesn't exist:
From Control Panel>Printers>Adobe PDF
Right click, select Printing Preferneces
Adobe PDF Page Size -> Press Add
Create a new paper size with following details:
Paper name: Envelope 10
Width: 10.375 inches
Height: 4.5 inches.

How do i determine the envelope size in Pages?

I'm printing envelopes for Christmas and I can't find how to adjust to the size envelope that fits my Christmas cards. I'm working with 5x7 envelopes.

Menu > Page Setup… > Paper Size > Manage Custom Size… if the size isn't there already

Adobe Reader 9.1 prints only #10 envelope size

Every time I print a Adobe document the only size it lets me print is #10 envelope. I have looked everywhere but I can't find an option to change the paper size. I have looked in all of the obvious places, but cant find the page set up option. I have a mac operating system 10.5.6 printing to a canon pixima pro 9500. Need someone with fresh eye to direct me in the right direction.
Thank you.

Have you tried changing the settings in File>Page setup?

I'm trying to type wedding invitation envelopes which are 5x7 and I don't know how to create the format. In the pages area, the available templates are all standard envelope sizes. How do I create the 5x7 format template

I'm trying to print 5X& envelopes. In pages, the templates are all standard sized. How do I create a 5x7 envelope template so I can merge my addresses?

I presume you are using the Pages application, is that correct?
So start off by launching Pages and choose one of the regular envelope styles. Traditional works well for me.
Next go to the File menu and select Page setup. From the menu that says Paper Size select Manage Custom Sizes. In the resulting dialog, there should be a button on the left labeled "+". Click it. In the Paper Size area, select Width 5 in and Height 7 in. Name the size (where it says "untitled" something descriptive like "5 x 7 envelope". Click the OK button. The Paper Size menu here should now say the description you gave it. Click OK again. Your work area should now be a 5 x 7 envelope.
Best of luck.
PS If you are using Word or some other program, the process is probably the same or very similar.

Place MultiPage PDF creates envelope size pages only

I know I somehow changed my default settings so I quit out of ID. I start it up, I select default (8.5 x 11), new doc opens. I open script and select place Multipage PDF. By default, new doc is first option, I select it and I end up with a multipage ID file at 9.5 x 4.125. Huh? I quit ID again, start it. Default page size is LH. What gives with the script? I don't want to reset my prefs if I can avoid it since I have everything perfect. I want 8.5 x 11 to be my default file size when placing multipage PDF.

Hi Richard, Al,
The script (assuming that this is PlaceMultipagePDF.jsx or .applescript that was installed with CS3) does nothing to change your page size--it just uses the default page size. You have somehow changed your default page size. To get it back to Letter, close all documents, then Choose Document Setup from the File menu and set the default there (not in the New Document dialog box).
If this is some other script with the same name, then I don't know what's going on.
Thanks,
Ole

Change envelope sizes & margins

OK, I have resized the template from a #10 to 7.2" X 5.0". But now I need to change the margins but the inspector won't allow me that option without the left margin printing off the edge of the paper. The addressee appears to be locked to the left margin. Anyone help me here?
Thanks

While I don't quite understand your description of the problem, I'll make an observation that may be helpful to you.
The Addressee information location is governed the Left Margin and the Top Margin, and is handled like any normal document text, except for the margins being set to larger values than for, say, the body of a letter. Thus, you may change the starting location of the Addressee information by changing the margin values on the Document Tab of the Inspector.
The Return Address information is contained in a Text Box that can be located anywhere on the sheet, even outside the margin limits. The location of the Return Address may be adjusted by selecting the Text Box and either dragging with the mouse or by nudging with the arrow keys.
Hope this helps.
Jerry

8600 Won't Print to Custom Size Envelopes

I used to have an HP Office Jet 7410 and was able to print all the addresses for my holiday cards on custom envelope sizes - nothing too out of the ordinary, but not #10. I have now upgraded (or at least I thought I was upgrading) to the 8600 Premium printer and spent hours trying to print to custom envelope sizes. Even after over an hour with tech support trying to help they finally told me the envelope size was not supported by this printer. She did try to trick it into using a different printer driver but that did not work either. I find it hard to believe that a high end all in one printer like this cannot do what the much older version did. Is there a workaround?

I have tried to install the deck jet 9800 as you suggested. I am using an ethernet to connect and run as I otherwise use it wireless. It is not sending to the printer. I have 125 wedding invitation envelopes to print and am ready to pull out my hair. Please help

Additionally, yes you will lose some functionality through those driver (such as scanning), however there is an easy solution to that problem. Just install both drivers on the computer and only use the alternate 990c (or Deskjet 9800) driver only when you want customized envelopes.
For the second question, I cannot speak for the company or their decisions in the future, I do know that the feature was removed to cut down on hardware problems and because of that our printers have become more reliable.
I hope you have a great day!

How do I print standard 6 3/4" standard size envelopes from an hp 8600 officejet pro printer?

How do I print 6 3/4" standard size envelopes from an hp 8600 officejet pro printer. This printer has this size on the tray and has this size listed in the printer set up on the printer, but the drop down boxes from my computer to set up the printer do not have this standard size listed. I keep getting messages on my printer that it is not set for the right size. I have a list of supported envelopes and their numbers for this printer but which one of these other numbers is the same as the 6 3/4" standard size envelope. I have an operating system of windows 7 with an older version of publisher. Everything else prints ok from publisher & the printer, just not the standard size envelopes of 6 3/4".
Please help!

Hi indy-girl,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you are trying to print 6 3/4" envelopes from your HP Officejet Pro 8600, but keep getting an error 'printer that it is not set for the right size'. After taking a look at the Supported envelopes sizes, the 6 3/4 is not supported. See below:
I was able to take a look at the 8600, the only thing I am seeing listed on the paper tray is Legal/Letter, and the 4x6". I am not seeing the 6 3/4 size.
I hope this helps!
Thanks,

Printing envelope not formatted correctly on custom size 8.75 by 5.75

Printers and All-In-Ones running win 7 64 bit, officejet 8600 pro all update current, In works 2007 word processor or 2011 Hallmark card progam. downloaded latest driver and reinstalled same (deleted original dr and rebooted first). Envelope is correctly positioned, address prints at top of flap side return address is missing. On plain paper (8.5X11) test print, address & return address appears to be in correct position.

I have the same problem with the same size paper (aka Invitation or Statement size), and have an additional problem with printing to the corresponding envelope size which is a Standard A9 (5.75"x8.75"). These are both standard size papers for the U.S. and are used in printing wedding invitations. I don't understand why there are programmed sizes for Japanese stationary, but not for all standard U.S. size formats (that will fit in the main feed tray) or the ability to create a Custom Size format.
Because these features weren't available, I ended up paying a local printer to print my New Year's cards (an expense I wasn't anticipating that equaled half the purchase price of the printer). And, since I can't print on the envelopes I will need to print labels, which I was hoping to avoid because I hate applying labels to envelopes.
HP, please update the software to allow customers to print to all appropriate Standard Size US formats or allow for customization, otherwise my next printer will be purchased from a manufacturer that does provide this ability.
