[Solved] What version of AOO prints envelopes correctly?

Post by capemayal1 »

Has there ever been a version of OO that printed envelopes correctly?

If so, can you tell me which one.

Envelopes are the only thing keeping me from using OO/LO. Otherwise, I rather use OO/LO instead of MS.

Thanks in Advance.

All versions of OpenOffice and LibreOffice can print envelopes correctly.

Thanks Villeroy. My experience has been quite the opposite. I use 2 different printers, a Brother laser, and HP's OJ Pro 8710. No matter which one I use its next to impossible to print correctly. It doesn't matter which size, either standard included templates or user defined. I do expect user design to make it difficult. I print a lot of envelopes - not mail merge, but as needed individually. I just can't win with OO/LO. I've used the Writer manual, and suggesitions on the forums, even web search. No luck. Thanks. I always depend on your comments and solutions.

If you want a relevant answer, you need to explain what is wrong when you try.

Upload a dummy document with envelope and tell us what goes wrong when you print it.

As always, thank you Villeroy.

I got it working with my HP OJ Pro 8710, which is center feed. Answer was to use the right side feed instead of the center feed. Then just make sure I use the correct up/down print service. I put a label on the printer so as not to forget - which I would.
Thanks again.
