Hi @R_J_T 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

To print envelopes on the HP LaserJet Pro MFP 3301, 3304, or 3388, you'll need to follow a series of steps to set the printer up for envelope printing. These models support printing on various types of media, including envelopes, as long as you follow the correct setup procedure. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Prepare the Envelopes

• Load Envelopes into the Tray:
  • Tray 1 (Main Tray): The HP LaserJet Pro MFP printers support printing on envelopes via Tray 1. Make sure you have the correct size envelope for your job (e.g., #10, DL, C5, etc.).
  • Load the Envelopes Correctly: Place the envelopes with the flap facing up and the short edge going into the printer first (flap side leading). Ensure that the envelopes are aligned properly to avoid paper jams.

2. Adjust Paper Settings in the Printer

• Select Envelope as Paper Type:
  • Press the Home button on the printer control panel.
  • Go to Settings or Print Settings.
  • Find the Paper Handling or Paper Size/Type option.
  • Select Envelope or the appropriate size for your envelopes (e.g., #10, DL, etc.).
  • If you're using Tray 1, select that as the active tray for printing.

3. Configure the Printer Settings on Your Computer

• Open the document or file that you want to print (e.g., a letter or address).
• Go to the Print dialog (press Ctrl + P in most applications).
• Select Your HP LaserJet Pro MFP Printer from the list of printers.
• Choose the Right Paper Size:
  • In the Print dialog, click on Properties or Printer Preferences.
  • Under the Paper/Quality or Paper Type section, choose the envelope size you're using. You can also select Envelope under Paper Type if it’s listed.
• Set the Orientation:
  • Make sure the orientation is set correctly for envelope printing (typically Portrait for #10 envelopes, depending on the printer's paper tray configuration).
• Choose the Correct Tray:
  • In the Printer Preferences, specify Tray 1 if you're using the main paper tray. If you're using a different tray (if applicable), select that tray.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
