Problem printing envelopes

I have a HP Photosmart C6280 All in one Printer.  I am trying to print envelopes - it takes the envelope throught the feed, but there is nothing on the envelope - I get an error message saying that its the wrong size or set up.  I was using an envelope template - I put the size of the envelope into the custom size area - still nothing on the envelope.

Would appreciate  step by step  info on this if possible,  I have looked in the manual and followed the unstrux.

Thank you

Re: Problem printing envelopes

I need to save the envelope data b4 printing with Word 2007. (using Vista)

 

Also I created a shortcut in the Printer preferences with the envelope size. (source=main, paper=plain)

Re: Problem printing envelopes

Doe HP have support?????!!!!! I have the same problem for weeks and no solution!

 

The guided solutions is just a bogus thing!  The print software when I try to change the custom envelope size to 229X162 or 162x229 does not save the save button is not functional! (Office Microsoftword!)

Re: Problem printing envelopes

I put regular size paper in - printed it and it printed out like the envelope should with the address and return address on it.

Re: Problem printing envelopes

Ok, on which side of the regular paper did the address print, left or right? (return add on top)
