How to print envelopes with correct orientation?

Hi all,
This one has been driving me mad and, despite many searches for help, just can't find a solution. As someone who knows their way around most IT related problems it is also very frustrating!
The problem: How to print a DL envelope using Pages (or Word come to think about it) so that the text is positioned on the envelope where you would expect it to be.
Printer: Epson Stylus Photo R800 - although I would guess this happens to any printer.
Tried: I have selected the DL Envelope setting in page setup (11x22cm)and selected landscape. The envelope is positioned in the printer so that the smaller side goes in first (too wide to go in the same way a page of A4 would go). If I select print then the address details are printed at 90° to the envelope. If I choose portrait then the whole thing is messed up with the text flowing down the page (which is now shown as 11x22).
Strangely, if I do this in Word but go to Print Preview first then print it is fine.
Best option for me is to use Address Book though and click on the 'Orientation' tab, select the landscape option and everything is OK. Pain to have to use this each time I an envelope though.
I have tried everything in pages including leaving the page set to 11x22 and trying to rotate the text but this is messy and have not found an easy way to rotate text in Pages as yet!
Has anyone a solution to this or am I simply missing something that is glaringly obvious?!!
Thanks all, Mike

It's really easy and it's perfectly described in the Help in the chapter entitled: *Flipping and Rotating Objects*
Create a Text Box (which is an object).
Type what you want in it.
Metrics Inspector > use the rotate button or enter directly 90 in the Angle field.
We may also do that without the Inspector.
Select the Text Box Put the cursor on the top_right handle
Press Shift + cmd while we drag the handle to rotate once of 45°
Repeat the process 45° + 45° will give a 90° rotation.

On my OJ Pro 8600, When I go to print a # 10 envelope, it feeds the envelope through and then prints the address on a letter page. I was forced to set the printer preferences to #10 envelope, and within Word, set the paper type to # 10 envelope, set Word up for center feed, and then put everything back to print normally. ON my 6500 all I had to do was hit print. There must be a way to print single envelopes without jumping through all these hoops!!

How to Print Envelopes - HP LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP

I can't work out how to print envelopes on my HP LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP.
I put the envelope upright (flap down) in the adjustable tray at the very top of the machine (as I have done in almost every printer I've used) and it prints the address on a sheet of paper!

Hi goodgrandma ,
I see by your post that you would also like to know how to print envelopes.
I will be happy to help you.
Both the Laserjet m251 and M276 have a main tray only.
Above the tray is the jam access door to remove paper jams.
To print on the envelopes, you would need to remove all the paper from the main tray and load the envelopes in the main (bottom) tray, to print to envelopes with these two units.
If you are using Word Application, click on Tools, select Letters and Mailing/Envelopes and labels, the envelope box will open, in the envelope tab enter your address, click on Options, click the Printing Options tab, you will need to change the Feed from to Auto, it is likely set to Manual.
What is the full name and product
number of your printer? How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Hope this helps.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
Have a great day!

How to print envelopes in pages, How to print envelopes in pages

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.

Hyperion Anaylzer - how to Print report with information in pages?

Hi, I use Hyperion Analyzer Version: 6.1.1.00206 (from Help | About menu). I created report with pages (on Navigate button selected the Pages). In pages are months (January, February, March, etc). Now I would like to print current report. So I did: 1. click on arrow beside Print button 2. Print Current Report windows is displayed. I selected default options and press OK button. Report is printed, but there is no page information printed out. So on paper there is report without months (January, February, March, etc). How to print report with information in pages? Thanks, Grofaty

Jia Shun,
I had the same issue for printing A/R Invoices - I created a Crystal Report based on a SQL View, works fine with A/R Invoice document, but the Draft Invoice printing has 3 pages: 1st page blank, 2nd page with watermark "DRAFT", 3rd page my Crystal Report layout without any data. When printing normally it is only 1 page.
Here is what I did as a work around:
Create two SQL Views, one select from OINV (joining INV1 and other tables needed), the other select from ODRF (joining DRF1 and other tables needed), for the draft printing.
Create two identicle Crystal Reports, only difference are: datasource location (from different views), the "draft" crystal report has a watermark section.
Go to Administration>System Initialization>Print Preferences and uncheck "Print draft watermark..."
Import both crystal reports. Invoice can be printed normally. But the Draft Invoice has more steps: Open Draft document report, change settings so it shows the DocEntry in the Draft Table. Select and open the desired document, hit Print Preview, and enter the DocEntry, it displays the layout with data and "DRAFT" watermark.
This is a workaround. I don't like it because it is not scalable - too much workload if you want to print 100 invoices.
Hopefully someone will provide a better solution.
regards,
G

Can you print from the ADF with Officejet Pro 8600 (not plus) & how to print checks in correct order

Client has Officejet Pro 8600 I(not plus) They want to print payroll checks out of QuickBooks but when they put the checks in tray 1, it pulls the check that is on the top, which happens to be the last check # in the stack. Is there a way to print where the printer pulls from the bottom of the check stack as opposed to the top. I've looked and can't seem to find the answer. QuickBooks says we should check with HP and change something in the print drivers?
So I thought it would fix it if they printed the checks from the ADF where I thought I could control if it pulls from the front or back of the stack. When we tried to print from the ADF, it pulled from Tray 1 and we weren't given the option to print from the ADF. (only Tray 1 & 2...which they don't have the 2nd tray anyway) So does this model, not being the PLUS model, not allow you to print from the ADF. (only scan, copy and fax from the adf?)
If we can't use the ADF for check printing, then how can we get the checks to print in the correct order. Meaning, the 1st check # to print should be on the check that is on the bottom of that check stack in Tray 1. Otherwise they have to count out the exact number of checks & place them in the tray. Or reverse all of them which is not an efficient either! I hope this makes sense.

Hi @kceacct ,
I see that you would like to know how to print out the checks in order. I will do my best to help you.
The ADF can be used for copying, scanning and faxing.
From the print driver you can only select the tray that you want to print from.
Changing Print Settings in Windows 8.
You would have to load the checks in order from top to bottom in the paper tray, since the printer just pulls the paper in from the top of the stack of paper.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

How can I print envelopes with Pages with my ipad2?

How may I print envelopes from my ipad2. I do have Pages .

Hi dd,
Pages '09 offered two types of documents.
Word processing documents included a text layer, and consisted of sections made up of multiple pages. If no section breaks were inserted, a fifty page document could consist of a single section. Text could be placed directly into the text layer, and Objects could be placed on the page as Floating Objects, independent of the text, and able to make text flow around themselves, or could be placed as Inline Objects, inserted into the line of text running from beginning to end of the document, and moving with the text as it was edited.
In a Page Layout document, each page was a single section. There was no text layer, so only objects could be placed on the page. Any text had to be contained in a Text box or in a Shape. Unless grouped, each object was independent of the others.
Changing your images from Floating to Inline objects may be the key to your document rearranging issues. They can be changed back to Floating after being moved to theor new locations.
Regards,
Barry

How to print envelopes

I am trying to print on 7.25x5.25 envelopes. I have the envelopes loaded correctly into the tray. The correct envelope size is selected in Word. The printer gives me an error saying the paper is the wrong size. I double-check the size. I double-check that the envelopes are loaded correctly. Everything is correct. I still get an error.
On a whim, I turned the envelopes in the tray so they were wide instead of long in the tray. Changed the orientation. They were definitely loaded incorrectly. I tried again. The printer pulled an envelope in and printed on it. Except that the orientation of the print was the wrong orientation. It was for the orientation if the envelopes had been loaded correctly. I turned the envelopes again, back to the correct orientation. Tried again. Got another error. The paper is the wrong size.
No, they're not the wrong size. I load the thing correctly, and the printer tells me the paper is the wrong size. I load them incorrectly and the printer will accept them, but then prints on them sideways.
Excruciatingly frustrating!
p.s. I have seen other similar questions but could NOT figure out how to post a reply. I can see that posts have been made by other members, not just HP employees. There is no notice saying that the post is closed.
I am not in the mood for this. I can't print my envelopes. I'm trying to print the envelopes because the labels I have won't print properly. I can't find appropriate settings for the labels, or alternate settings for this size of envelope. As near as I can tell, all the information and settings are correct.
I need an answer now. And I can't figure out how to post a reply on the boards.
Would very much appreciate a reply.

Hi @pepperoma
What printer model do you have? How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
In order to work together we will need to reply back and forth to one another, you mentioned not knowing how to reply to a post, this might help.

Duplex printing issues with landscape orientation

I have read through all of the previous questions, and can't seem to resolve my problem here.
I am using Acrobat 8 Professional (8.2.2). I have created a PDF from a Powerpoint presentation. I need to be able to send this to someone else and have them view it on screen with the correct orientation, and also duplex print it correctly, as all of our company printers default to duplex printing (to save paper). However, since the person who prints it is going to staple it in the upper left hand corner, it really needs to be duplexed to open along the left edge (the short edge of the paper).
When I first bring up the print screen the document has the incorrect orientation; i.e. it shows a thumbnail of an 8.5 x 11" page in portrait orientation, and my content is reduced in size to fit the 8.5 width. I think this is really the issue at hand--for some reason, even though the page is set up in Powerpoint as a 8.5x11 landscape oriented document, when it exports to the PDF format, that orientation doesn't hold.
Anyway, it seems that no matter what settings I try to adjust, it doesn't seem to work. I have toggled "Auto-Rotate and Center," I have toggled the duplex settings in the PDF document properties. I have toggled the duplex print settings on my printer driver between "Open to Left" and "Open to Top." None of it seems to make any difference in the final printout--basically what comes out of my printer is a document that is rotated to print out as if it was a portrait page, and is bound on the left edge (so each second page is printed upside down, when I am looking at it in landscape orientation).
The only work-arounds I can think of would be to rotate every other page in the PDF so that when it printed it printed correctly. However, then the PDF would not be readable on the screen. I could generate two separate versions of the PDF, one marked for print, and the other for viewing--but that is a real waste.
Does anyone have any suggestions here? I am looking for a way either to get the PDF software to "understand" that this document is a landscape document from the get-go (then it SHOULD work to duplex print correctly with the "Open to Left" setting), or maybe create a custom print setting for this document that allows me to rotate every other page as it is printed, but that doesn't rotate the pages on the screen.
I hope this is all clear...and that someone can offer some advice.
Thanks!
Melise
P.S. Just in case it makes any difference, I am running Windows XP Professional and am using the Microsoft Office 2007 software package. Because the company has multiple different printers throughout the company, I need a solution that will work without regards to the specific printer driver.

I am having the exact same issue. The setting of "Auto-Rotate and Center" has no affect.
Do I have to rotate the odd pages 180 so they are upside down in the PDF, but print correctly?
I am using Acrobat 9 Pro V. 9.3.3 in Win 7 Pro 64, to HP CP6015XH (colour laser).

UNABLE TO PRINT ENVELOPES WITH HP 309a

i have an HP 309a printer and I suddenly cannot print envelopes. I have the correct size in the template but when I put the envelope (correctly) into the printer I get an error message "wrong size." This happened recently and I suspect it might be connected with the updates. I can still print labels so nothing is changed there.

Thank you. I'm sorry that it took so long to respond but my brand new G4's logic board failed and had to be replaced! Now when I tried to log in with my username and password at the CUPS local host site, it said that the login was wrong, Do I have to go someplace else to log into CUPs and get a new password and username?
I will try to find out what CUPS is while I wait for your response.
The printers: Lexmark 1100 series is on the Lexmark site: http://downloads.lexmark.com/cgi-perl/downloads.cgi?ccs=229:1:0:0:0:0 where I got the driver.

Unable to print envelopes with latest HP driver for LaserJet 4

In April I downloaded the latest HP drivers for my HP LaserJet 4 to reinstall following work on my computer.
First I was just unable to print envelopes.
I redownloaded and had same results
I have uninstalled and re-installed a number of times.
I tried a "chat" with HP that went nowhere.
I was on hold for over an hour last night -- only to be told that I should email a request for assistance. Fat Chance! Try it!
I still have the manual from when it was new. It had no answer except a Customer Service phone number which has long been shut down.
The present condition is that I am unable to print anything.
Customer Service is a sick myth.

Hello, DP Photo, sounds like a scanning issue with the software. To start I want you to completely remove the software and then reinstall the programming from the packages available on the website I am going to link you to below. Use the full-feature software if available.

Problems printing envelopes with HP 4480 all in one

I purchased the HP 4480 all in one because I was told it would do the job(we hold a reunion each year and write to over 110 people. However I have had nothing but trouble (30 envelopes wasted already) it jams-jams-jams) sometimes at the back and sometimes at the front lots of messy hands!! Have now started to write the envelopes which defeats the whole idea of speed. Can any one help or shall I bin the printer not a year old yet.

I've had the very same issues with printing envelopes. I'm using standard #10 envelopes, so it should not be an issue. I have a new 4480 printer coming today to replace the one I have, but I am not encouraged about what will happen since I see at least another person has had the same issue.....we"ll see what happens...
