Why do I have to change the paper size EVERY TIME I print an envelope????? We use this printer for our small business and this is a HORRIBLE set up. Is there anyway around this? I know it's not Window or Microsoft Word as I've had both and was able to go from a statement to an envelope all day long.

It's been a few years since I touched Vista so I hope all the steps are correct.
Step 1
Go to the Start menu, click "Control Panel," click "Hardware and Sound," click "Printers" and then click the "Add a printer" button.
Step 2
In the Add Printer Wizard, click the Add a Local Printer option.
Step 3
In the resulting wizard dialog box, select the specific port for Windows Vista to use for the printer. Click Next.
Click the down arrow on the Use an Existing Port Field and select the necessary port.
This is the port of your first 3636 install, see Port settings in the Printer properties.
Step 4
In the next wizard window choose your printer's manufacturer HP and then choose a printer. Then click Next.
Step 5
In the resulting Type a Printer Name dialog box, enter a printer name. Click Next.
Step 6
Click Finish to complete the Add Printer Wizard.

Add the 3636 as a second printer & set it up for only printing envelopes.
Give it a unique name.

Thank you for taking the time to reply although your suggestion is ridiculous. Why should I have to buy another printer? The other HP printer I had prior to this one did not require this ridiculous resetting of page layouts. Unfortunatley it died so I purchased this one. I believe this one will be returned and will seriously look at another brand.

How is the 3636 connected to the computer? USB or WiFi
