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.

hi peet,
every thing is clear wht but, i have small query.. it is clear that u need 3 copies of same print, but each copy from different tray. along with this dou you want saparate spools also?
there is a way to achive this calling the from 3 times with differen output device.for the same printer...
with single output device we can't print in 3 different tray..
1. create 3 output device in SPAD.. with the same printer name but different trays.
2. if u r using the standard print pogram then copy this modify... as follows... call   the smartform 3 times.... by passing different output divice for each copy...
u can do in this way

  • Can you print envelopes from Contact?

    Can you print envelopes from Contact?

    macjack, thanks again
    I followed your instructions, but when you check on any of the presets and look at what can and cannot be "preset" you see that these are the standard print settings, and have nothing to do with the dialogue box choices that you have when you first select the Style "Envelopes" when printing from Contacts.
    file://localhost/Users/chvsteve/Desktop/Contacts%20envelope%20print.tiff
    (Hopefully when I send this reply, the screen shot I took of the screen I am writing about will appear in this message)
    The "Presets" dropdown menu above under the "Printer" dropdown menu only refers to regular print dialogue box options and not those you can select under "Layout", "LAbel" or "Orientation" from the special dialogue box for printing envelopes from Contacts.
    And it is these settings that I woul dlike to fix in a preset so I don't have to repeat them every time I want to print an envelope or a label from COntacts.
    Any ideas on fixing these options into a preset?
    Of should I finally break down and learn something about AppleScripts and use them in a situation like this?

    Not from a document, but there are envelope templates in Pages you can use.

  • HT2486 When I use my iPhone Siri for dialing, it is better to have the names in the address book listed singularly. But when I want to print envelopes from the address book in a formal manner - "Mr. & Mrs. Smith". Is there any way to have both options?

    When I use my iPhone Siri for dialing, it is better to have the names in the address book listed singularly. But when I want to print envelopes from the address book in a formal manner - "Mr. & Mrs. Smith". Is there any way to have both options?

    Only way I can figure is having double entries one with singular + some unique field, (maybe called Siri), then making a Smart group for one or both.

  • I would like to use my HP officejet pro 8600 and HP officejet pro 8100 for printing envelopes

    I would like to use my HP officejet pro 8600 and HP officejet pro 8100 for printing envelopes.

  • I have the HP Office Jet Pro 8600 which is dificult to use for printing envelopes .

    I bought an HP 1010  small printer [not wireless] which I want to dedicate for printing envelopes only. It is not wireless. How can I connect it so that it will show up for selection for envelopes only? I have it connected to the PC with an UBS
    whereas the 8600 is wireles.

    Hi @Abinadi,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I noticed you are trying to use your HP 1010 for printing envelopes only. I am happy to look into this for you!
    The easiest solution is to load the printer with envelopes, and then to just select that printer when you go to print. You will need to choose the paper type each time you print though, depending on the program or Operating System.
    So I can look into this further, could you please reply with the following information: 
    The Product/Model Number of your printer. Follow instructions in this link. Finding Your HP Product Model Number.
    If you are using a Windows or Mac Operating System, and the version number. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
    The name of the program you are printing with.
    Thank you for posting, and hope to hear from you soon!

  • I cannot print envelopes from my laptop.  I can only print envelopes from the host computre on the network.  Why?  What do I need to do?

    I cannot print evnelopes from my laptop on Pages.  I can only print envelopes from the host computer on the network.  What do I need to do to be able to print envelopes from the laptop?

    Not sure what you are saying, what printer? what laptop? what network? what have you tried? but it sounds like you do not have the printer driver for the printer you use, on your laptop.
    Find the make and model and go to their website and look for the Mac Printer software and install it.
    Perhaps you do have it installed but haven't found it. Look down the list next to Printer: in the print dialog.
    I assume you have found the envelope templates in Pages' Template Chooser?

  • Officejet Pro 8610 printing envelopes from MS Word on MacBook Pro

    I have Officejet Pro 8610 that will not print envelopes from MS Word envelopes. Print preview shows all white. I've played with as many settings as I can find. Yesterday, tech support got it to print from pdf, but today it doesn't even do that.
    This question was solved.

    I deleted the printer in Mac system preferences, reset, then reloaded the printer driver using officejet rather than airprint. Works OK. Thanks.

  • Solution for printing of Purchasing Documents in SAP with version managemen

    Hi experts,
    We found that the standard solution does not meet the following requirements for purchasing document
    1)     The print for the latest version of the document does not contain items unaffected by change. It  requires printing of whole document with all items, but with version number and highlighted changes.
    2)     The standard solution cannot highlight some of the changes which are not captured by version management like text changes, target value and Contact (Purchasing Group) in header, text changes at item level, etc.
    3)     The standard solution can be used to reprint the whole PO without version management but that cannot highlight the changes specific to the version for which it is printed.
    If any solution which can meet the requirements specified above, please let us know <removed by moderator>.
    Thanks in advance.
    Edited by: Thomas Zloch on Mar 30, 2011 9:39 AM

    Ok.
    I have already done with SPRO configuration.
    MM->Purchasing->Version management->
    It has implemented ECC 6.0. The version management has been activated for Purchasing documents. The standard printing solution for printing of these documents (PO, Outline Agreements and RFQ) print these documents with changes made in the latest version. Any item which is not changed in the latest version does not get printed.

  • How i start printing report from 2nd page

    When Press on Print button to print report, then it start from 1 page.
    Is it possible that report start printing from the 2nd page....
    Plz help if possible...
    Thanks alot..

    hi dear,
    I think wht u do is place a "Form feed" char on the first line of your report
    and make sure it has property "print object on" set to "first page"
    so as and when u startyour printing it will make a form feed and your first page will
    be printed with nothing and print starts from 2nd page....
    Enjoy Oracle...

  • Battery Solutions for iPhone 5 - From 4 to 12 hours Usage

    Battery Solutions for iPhone 5 - From 4 to 12 hours Usage
    First:
    iCloud sync is a great battery consumer
    1** iCloud: turn off mail, safari and reminders. Only keep contacts, notes, photo stream and documents data
    2** Use cellular data for iCloud documents and reading list only.
    3** Notes to save on iPhone, not on iCloud.
    4* Avoid downloading new Apps or updates if not on power. It's better to download all updates on a computer and synchronise to update them.
    5* Avoid looking at videos on line if not on power.
    6* Games consume a lot
    Second: if not enough
    7* Brightness to bring on top of the letter "t" of Brightness. Sometimes the brightness goes automatically to 75%, too high. Put it back.
    8* In mail, fetch new data, advanced, check that all accounts are fetch manual
    Third: Additional Optional tips
    9* Wifi ask to join networks off
    10* Bluetooth off when no need, turn off WiFi if in an area with no WiFi, avoid Personal Hotspot: great battery consumer.
    11* Turn off iPhone manually. Don't wait for iPhone to turn it off.
    12* Let the battery exhaust totally until it turns off before to recharge it.
    13 Kill The Apps unused from time to time, in case one application uses too much in back ground
    14 The Reset All Settings solves nothing. It just creates problems to rekey in everything.

    Just a followup:
    To summarize:  I upgraded to an iPhone 5 a few days ago and the first thing I did was restore from my iPhone 4 iCloud backup. After that I was experiencing the things some people here complain of: running hot and battery draining quickly.
    But I then reset as a new iPhone and synced in all my apps, music, photos, etc. from iTunes and now it is running cool - even after using it continually for 90 minutes or 2 hours and the battery drain is acceptably within specs.
    This screen shows
    Usage: 4 Hours, 0 Minutes
    Standby: 19 Hours, 28 Minutes
    Battery at 44%.
    That would "multiply out" to
    Usage: 7 Hours, 14 Minutes
    Standby: over 34 hours
    when the battery is fully used up.
    I believe that is pretty reasonable and within specs.
    I will try an experiment after my next full charge of turning off cellular data though (except when absolutely needed) for comparison.
    I'm not saying some people aren't having some power-draining issue due to their carrier. But even without 5 bars standing the issue for me seemed to have been the attempt to restore from my iPhone 4's iCloud backup instead of installing as a new iPhone and syncing.
