Printing envelopes using Word: I draw a blank

The scenario: I write a letter, then highlight the address of the recipient and go to Tools/envelopes.
The new document window opens, showing what the envelope will look like. It automatically opens up to the "Page layout view" (the lower lefthand corner). But if I try the other two views (Normal view and Outline view), both are blank.
Then, when I hit preview, the envelope shows up as blank. Needless to say, when I hit print, the envelope emerges blank.

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.

Printing Envelope using Word Perfect

Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless -
Operating Sys - Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit
envelope feed is centered in the paper tray. Word Perfect will print envelopes only if fed down the right side of the paper tray. HP claims there is a problem with Word Perfect and Corel claims the problem is in the print driver. I've never had a printer before that would work with only Microsoft Word. I've never had this problem before purchasing this printer.

Hi,
Here are the steps for printing in word perfect :
Printing envelopes in Word Perfect
In WordPerfect, the Print Driver and Envelope Format Settings must match for the envelope to print properly. The Following steps show how to set up envelope printing in WordPerfect 7.0; other versions of WordPerfect follow similar if not identical routines.
Set the Print Driver settings in the Printer Folder to print in Landscape mode. In Windows 95 and 98, right-click the print driver icon and select Properties. Then go to the Paper section. In Windows NT, double click the print driver icon and go to Document Defaults under Printer. Go to the Features section and make the change.
From within WordPerfect, click Format and Envelopes.
Go to Envelope definitions to select the size.
To verify the settings, or if the desired envelope size is not present, click Create New Definition.
Check the list of available envelope sizes; if the desired envelope size is not present, select the last choice: User Defined Size.
Make sure the font orientation is set to Rotated and paper feed is set to Short Edge.
Print a test envelope to make sure all of the settings are correct. These settings will be the default the next time you enter WordPerfect’s envelope wizard.

I am attempting to print a number of DL size envelopes using Word 2010 and Excel2010 on a HP Officej

I am attempting to print a number of DL size envelopes using Word 2010 and Excel 2010 on a HP Officejet 6500A Plus printer in Operating system Windows 7. Using the mail merge facility the printer reports a paper mismatch. Word does not appear to have envelope DL size in its list of paper sizes only something called envelope #10. The Print driver software when I run out of stationery asks me to load more stationery and hit the OK button.
Questions
1. How do I add envelope DL size to Word 2010
2. Where is the Officejet 6500A Plus OK button
3. Has this problem been experienced by others
Regards

Printing envelope using address in letter

Is there a method to print an envelope using the addressee in a letter typed in Pages? I know in Word you could highlight the addressee and print the envelope.
Thanks in advance.

In the user guide chapter 11 it says: This chapter tells you how to use contact information stored
in Address Book and vCards to personalize letters, envelopes,
and other Pages documents.
You can get the Pages user guide if you click on Help in the menu. Select Pages User Guide.

How do I print envelopes using Address Book?

I am having trouble getting envelopes to print properly from Address Book in Lion. I have specified size #10 envelpes. When I print them, the text printed on successive envelopes moves further and further down the page until the address drops off of one envelop and is then printed at the top of the next envelope. If I print to PDF, I see the same behavior. I have an HP OfficeJet 7600 printer.
Also, when I switched to size #9 envelopes without making any other changes, the envelopes were printed as though I had switched from portrait to landscape.
Can anyone tell me how to fix these problems? I am so disappointed because what looked like a really quick and easy way to print envelopes has now taken hours and I only have 3 remotely satisfactory envelopes printed and no hope of getting more other then to do them one by one.

I have a similar problem too. I might be mistaken, but I think it creeped in when I "upgraded" to Lion and the foobarred the addressbook and who knows what else. It used to work just fine.
I have had luck printing envelopes with the Ambrosia widget. Very nice and free, Give it a try.

Return Address on Printing Envelopes

Hi, thought I'd try the built-in envelope printing feature in Address Book and found another anomaly. The return address will combine your address and the spouse entry - OK. But, I've found that it also adds in the father entry. Interestingly, it doesn't add in the brother or mother entry.
This generates the same anomaly if you select your own name to print an envelope, adding not only your spouse's entry, but your father's name as well.
I guess it's back to struggling with Word to print envelopes, but it would be nice if Apple would clean-up/debug printing envelopes within the Address Book. It's so unlike Apple to mess up something so simple.

Thanks for the reply.
I went into Address Book (no option to create a new Address Book record in Mail that I could find) and created a new record with just my name and home address. I marked this as My Card (I guessed this is what you meant by make this my home address). I selected Print from File menu in another Address Book record. I clicked on Label tab in Envelopes option, selected my home address. I could see no option to select a different return address, although I did see the other font and color options.
By creating a simpler, duplicate record for myself, I can certainly fake out Address Book and print an envelope. But that's not my point. I could as simply use another application (Word or a dedicated envelopes application, for example) and work through its quirks as well. My point is if Apple is going to allow multiple addresses and names of family members in an Address Book record, I should be able to use them. I've already learned how to waste 20 minutes configuring Word to print an envelope. In an Apple database designed specifically for Addresses, with a selection to print envelopes, it should be no more difficult than selecting specific addresses, envelope dimensions, and print orientation to get it right the first time with no fuss. Being able to modify font sizes, color, drag a graphic on the envelope for customization would be nice, but the fundamentals need to work first.
I posted this question here to find out if anyone else has experienced my issue, confirming this bug in the Address Book, or more hopefully pointing out that I completely missed some not-so-obvious selection that was causing my printing layout problem. Since no one has, I guess the bug stands.
I'm disappointed because when I saw this functionality pointed out today in an online article, I thought I now had a way to stop having to refigure out how to print envelopes in Word three or four times a year when I need to send out a birthday card. It was when I went to try this Address Book feature out that I found it appending my father's name to my return address.
I guess I feel let down. It's a minor issue, and I can certainly create a temporary address to work around it, but it's disappointing that I have to.

Default color when printing envelopes on Photosmart 309g

When I print envelopes using Microsoft Word, the color of the letters is green. I have tried changing the color selection from automatic to black in the Word program but the color still comes out green. Printing of the Word document does default to black when automatic is selected for the color.

Hi cpolizzi,
Welcome to the HP forums!
I'm sorry to hear you've been having issues printing envelopes with your Photosmart 7520, but I would be happy to have a look into this and make some suggestions.
The first thing I will suggest is that you have a look through this Printing an envelope page from Microsoft that explains how to properly set up the program to print the envelope, including changing print settings.
This How to print to envelopes in Microsoft Word 2013 video below also shows a few things to check as well.
Let me know if anything changes after that

LJ2605dn and Printing Envelopes

I can't seem to figure this out and its starting to drive me crazy. When I print envelopes from Word, I feed the envelope into the Tray1 slot and the printer pulls the envelope through the printer and acts like its printing but the thing comes out blank. The status screen blinks with a message to then load the envelope in the slot and hit the green check button. I do this and then the printer proceeds to print the envelope. I have tried changing the settings around in Word, but can't seem to find anything that makes a difference. Would appreciate anyones assistance.

hi, and thanks for the reply. Yes, when I got to print I've expanded the print dialog box and can see all the options. Your suggestion sent me back to the address book to experiment a little, and I found that the solution was to make sure the recipient is NOT set up as a company (in other words, make sure you DON'T tick the "company" box when you create the entry) You put the person's name in, followed by their company and address and so on. And THEN when you go to print, you tick the "Print: Company" box. And there it is. Problem solved! THANK YOU VERY MUCH

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.
