My envelope will not feed until I push the yellow flashing button on the front of the HP Deskjet 5650 printer.  What can be done to solve this problem?  Thanks

  • Problems printing envelopes on an HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless

    I have had this printer for over a year and have lived in frustration with the primitive and really disfunctional way it tries to print envelopes.  The left or right side placement of a flap up number 10 envelope gets misaligned as it is pulled through for printing and on many occasions jams and tears.  The center position is the only position that will work, but not flawlessly as the envelope also misaligns as it is pulled through.  It often takes two or three tries before i can get an evenly or straight printed envelope.  I am puzzled as to how HP would engineer a product for small business use that has such a dysfunctional envelope printing system. I am otherwise not displeased with the product for almost all other uses.  It has lots of other very good features that work.  But not envelope printing. 
    I thought I would try to inquire as to whether a download update of software might have tried to correct this problem.  Am I alone in this?

    Have you moved the paper guides to properly align the envelopes?  I do not see how envelopes can be loaded in any position but the center with the paper guides set snugly.  See page 42 (46) of the manual here.  Also, if you have the optional second paper tray note that envelopes are not supported in it, you need to use the top tray.

  • Problem with printing envelopes

    I have an HP Laser Jet P2035.  It gives me trouble printing envelopes for work.  I put the envelope on the tray, press the print button and with almost every envelope, it prints information about the priniter, and THEN it prints an envelope.  It's wasting my business envelopes.  Very frustrating.

    I too encounter the problem requiring pushing the yellow arrow button and having my #10 envelope jam.  I read in the HP support document to try tucking in the flap of the envelope.  After doing this I still find that I have to hit the yellow arrow, but this time the envelope actually printed.  g

  • Hp laserjet 3800n problem printing envelopes

    My laserjet which I've had for years always has a hard time printing envelopes, but usually if I try several times they will print, but today it isn't working.  What it does is hum for about 30-60 seconds without feeding envelopes, then stops and says fuser error (50.2?).  I did update the firmware about 1 year ago, hoping it would help this problem.  I am printing envelopes from Microsoft works on a XP machine. Thanks

    Hey tswelsh,
    Are you using the envelope template built into Microsoft Word to print the #10 envelopes?  If so, then I would make sure all settings are set correctly to print the envelopes.
    Check to make sure the Feed option is set to the correct feed path for the Photosmart 7525.  It is possible that the Word software is expecting the envelope to come through the unit in a different location and is 'printing' your information in empty space.
    Also, make sure the print driver settings are correct.  When selecting to print make sure to set the Printer Properties to the correct paper type.  Select the Paper/Quality tab to make sure that the option is set for #10 envelopes in the driver. The printer functions best when the software and driver have matching settings.
    Let me know if this helps,
    Jason

  • 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???

    Kindly follow the steps here:

  • New iMac with OS x Lion.  Printing envelopes w/ Address book makes a second blank envelope. Drivers up to date. Have to mark print only first page. Had no problem with Snow Leopard. How to correct.

    I recently purchased a new iMac with OS x Lion. Previously was using a four year old iMac with snow Leopard. I have three HP printers with up to date drivers for Lion.  When I try to print an envelope from Address Book I have two problems:
    1) I have to change the orientation to vertical to get the proper margins, which I never had to do before and
    2) It prints a second blank envelope unless I tell it to only print the first page.
      Neither of the problems occurred with my previous iMac/w Snow Leopard  and it appears to be a Lion/HP software incompatibility. I have worked with a Apple supervisor (Case # 316225300) for hours and finally reinstalled the operating system to no avail.
    I do I correct both problems???

    Contact HP and ask them to write better drivers for Lion. Find a printer that is more compatible with Lion. I've not printed envelopes with Lion before, though I've had no difficulty with either Epson Artisan 810 or Canon MX700 for regular printing.  Sometimes open source drivers also work better than manufacturer drivers.  See this FAQ*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/printersx.html
    While many open source drivers won't give you duplex or printer diagnostics, at least they may work better for other features. 
    Lastly, I've often found for a more consistent print, saving as PDF, and then printing from Preview can sometimes be the best work around.  Someone in the Mac OS X Technologies forum might be able to help you write an automator script to do this in one fell swoop, if you find it works better for your needs.

  • C4780 problem printing envelopes

    My HP Photosmaret C4780 is having a problem printing envelopes correctly.
    What happens is that the print is shifted left about half an inch, cutting off the first part of the return address.
    To test things, I've cut plain paper to the same size as the envelope (in this case #10 4.1 x 9.5 inches) and that prints fine so I'm thinking it has something to do with envelope thickness and the printer not taking up the paper correctely.
    Is there an envelope setting I'm missing in the driver? A paper thickness setting?
    thanks,
    rod

    Thanks for the reply. I'm still having problems with these particular envelopes, but I have made some interesting discoveries.
    first, the envelopes I'm using have a peel and seal strip, which makes that part under the flap a little thicker. So I tried a regular lick 'em stick 'em envelope of the same size and it printed fine.
    I tried tucking the flap as you suggested and the problem still persisted. The real strange thing is that if I load the envelope upside down, so that it will print on the flap side, the envelope prints correctly.
    If I load the envelope so that it will print on the correct side (the non-flap side) but I revererse the envelope so that the flap is facing right rather than left, I have the same printing problems.
    So it seems that having the flap up (with these peel and seal envelopes) is where the problem comes from whether the flap is out or tucked it.
    So I guess I'll just switch to regular envelopes rather than the peel and seal kind.
    thanks again

  • Problems printing envelopes from Address Book since Lion upgrade

    I've been printing envelopes to my HP PhotoSmart 2575 All-In-One printer from Address Book without any problems for years. I upgraded to Lion and now the first envelope is blank. Second one is okay but after that their print position slips little by little up the page until they become usless. I see on the forum that there are other people with different printers but the same problem. Has anyone found a solution to this?

    Hi David and Everyone Who it Might Help
    I was having this problem too!  *Many* thanks to you! 
    I was having it with both a new brother and Epson printer. 
    I followed your advice and created a custom envelope and just to clarify for any future reader.  The "rotate 90 degrees" is changed under the "orientation" tab by simply selecting the layout with the picture sideways inside of straight up and down.
    Second, the size change you mentioned is for the "Height," naturally, not the Width.
    Many thanks!!!  Great find.

  • 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...

  • Problem printing envelopes

    I have a HP Photosmart C6280 All in one Printer.  I am trying to print envelopes - it takes the envelope throught the feed, but there is nothing on the envelope - I get an error message saying that its the wrong size or set up.  I was using an envelope template - I put the size of the envelope into the custom size area - still nothing on the envelope.
    Would appreciate  step by step  info on this if possible,  I have looked in the manual and followed the unstrux.
    Thank you

  • I'm having a problem printing envelopes using OS 10.10.1 Yosemite.  Can I download an earlier version that HP thinks will work?

    I'm having trouble printing envelopes using OS 10.10.1 Yosemite.  Can I download an earlier version as HP support  (my printer) advises?

    Open System Preferences, choose Printers and Scanners, and you can change the default paper size, which includes different Envelope sizes. My HP printer has the image for the direction of the envelope. I have the OfficeJet 4630, and am currently using the Yosemite defaulted drivers after updating.
    an after note here:
    I had issues with my printer at first as well after installing Yosemite but deleted my old HP utilities, then allowed Apple default HP driver in, then re-downloaded HP drivers, and this worked for me in all formats, including printing envelopes.

  • Problem printing envelopes hp 7525

    My Photosmart 7525 will not print envelopes.  It will grab the envelop and cycle it through but there is no address printed, either to or return.  I'm using Windows 7, MS Word 2010 and #10 envelopes.

    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 do I print envelopes for everyone in my address book?

    How do I print envelopes for everyone in my address book?  It seems so simple but after half an hour... no joy!!

    I have spent most of the morning in a frustrating search of a way to print labels for my contacts. I have a couple of problems. I want to send every label to a different person at the same address. I have hundreds to do and most of them do not have a mailing address so I tried to do a bulk change of the address ... without  manually changing every contact there is no way to do this. I've tried to create a template with a table (10x2) and added merge fields to each of the cells but when I do a mail merge all I get are hundreds of pages with a page dedicated to each contact whereas I want to merge on a cell by cell level, i.e. 20 different contacts on the same page.
    How do I do this? I can't find label style that is appropriate and I'm not sure how to create one with 10 by 2 labels per page.
