Preparation

Is the printer ready to print?

HP ENVY Inspire 7200e, 7900e Printers - Color or black ink not printing, other print quality issues

Next,

Results might be impacted by the paper size, paper type, paper weight, print surface, or the application or software used to complete the task.

Envelopes are limited to the size, shape, weight, and print surface supported by the printer specifications.

The envelope must be loaded correctly and the printer must (be able to) feed the envelope properly during all parts of the printing process. 

Envelopes are sometimes smaller than standard paper or have other characteristics that impact print quality.

Print Envelope

In general, applications are both less likely to understand envelope printing well enough to change how the text appears on just one section of the envelope and more likely to limit the margins and general output.  This is both good and bad -- there is less to go wrong during printing and more steps to be managed manually to set up the job. 

Example - HP Smart - Windows - Simple PDF Print

HP_Smart_w10_Envelope_10_4

=====================================================

Problems here are more common --

Software programs designed to print envelopes manage text, margins, and placement of the return and recipient addresses.  Programs of this type include limitations and they are frequently dependent on the full driver printer software for the printer having been installed on the device.  An example:  Word > Mailings > Envelopes

Example - Windows - Word > Mailings > Envelopes

Rabbits_and_Chickens_Test_Envelope_10_15

=====================================================

Software designed to print documents -- for example, Word -- include the most control, including the size and shape of the document, Text boxes, artwork, margins, and fonts are controlled within the document.  In general, programs like Word are dependent on the full driver printer software for the printer having been installed on the device.

Example - Windows - Word - Manual Envelope
