Printing envelope with Lexmark X204n

When I attempt to print a No 10 envelope from my Mac running Mavericks and Pages 5.2 to my Lexmark X204n the print job is mis-aligned.
The Lexmark's manual feed tray centers the envelop to the printer, but envelope is printing as if it should be on the left side of the print path. On the premise that a picture paints 1000 words here's one:
The red dotted line is the center line of a piece of legal paper (X204n can't print wider than 8.5")
The green dotted square is where the envelope is physically located by the manual feed tray
The blue dotted square is where the text prints, as if Pages/OS X/the print driver is expecting the letter to be on the left, not centered
The result of all this is that when I print an envelope all I get is the sender address located exactly where you see it here relative the green dotted square...
Is there a setting I need to tweak that will resolve this?

Feed the envelope in with the flap (folded) as the leading edge and the Page Set-up for Landscape (turned).

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.
Thanks again,

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...

Printing problems with Lexmark Wi-Fi printer linked to iMac

We have a Lexmark X6570 Wireless printer. This unit works flawlessly with our MacBook Pro on the AirPort Express Wi-Fi system in the house, whihc was the first Apple computer we bought in September 2007. More recently, in November 2008, we purchased a second Mac, an IMac 24-inch desktop and linked it to the AirPort Express. The problem is that we cannot print via the iMac. Whenever we ask for a print of a Mail message, a Safari web page, an Adobe Reader page, a TextEdit page or a Pages file (when we are actually working on a draft), the application closes by itself and we get the following error message (for the Mail example): "The Mail application had to close unexpectedly. The problem could be caused by the IJPrintQuality module". By the way, the only time the printer actually printed from the iMac was when I open a saved Pages file. Then it prints OK and almost every time. But that is the only instance when the iMac prints from the Lexmark. We have spoken to Lexmark on numerous occasions and reinstalled all drivers and all Lexmark software on the iMac, but without success.

For those running into this same prpoblem, Lexmark foun a solution for me. If you get that error message, try to access your HD -> Library -> Printers -> Lexmark -> PDE's folder. Under that folder, locate the IJPrintQuality, then remove it. Then try to print again. If you get another similar error message, you may also have to remove three other plug-ins: IJAdvancedOptions, IJColorOptions and IJPrinterServices before the programs stops crashing. I am now testing the printing of different documents from different applications, and it continues to work well.

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

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.

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.

Problem printing envelopes with HP Deskjet 6540

Printer is about 6 years old, and to print addresses on envelopes, I always had to push the blinking yellow-arrow button to restart the print job after getting a message that the paper was the wrong size. This worked until recently, and now the printer won't print the envelope at all.
I checked the print set-up in PrintMaster (where the print job originated), and the correct envelope size was entered in inches. The size of the envelope that is entered in the print job queue in the HP folder, however, is given in kb's. Is this the problem? Any ideas of how to fix this "wrong size" issue?

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

Printing envelopes with hp deskjet 3520

Envelope printing is misaligned. The tray guides align the envelope in the middle. But, the actual printing is aligned toward the right of the tray (the bottom of a full sized page, if inserted in lieu of an envelope)

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.
