HP ENVY 4512 All-in-One Printer

Hello All. First time posting and I hope you can help me out. I have an HP Envy 4512 All in One and when I print a letter, it prints the font just fine. When I print the envelope, it gets all wacky and squiggly. I am using the same fonts for both the letter and the envelope.  It seems to only do it on the envelope. I have tried everything.  Thanks for the assist.

Hi @Kitty730,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

 

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your printer!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

 

Try these steps:

Check Envelope Size and Type:

  • Ensure that you are using the correct size and type of envelope that is supported by your printer.
  • Verify that the envelope is properly loaded in the input tray.

Paper Settings:

  • Open the printer software on your computer.
  • Verify that the paper type settings are set to "Envelope" or the correct size of the envelope you're using.

Printer Alignment:

  • Sometimes alignment issues can cause printing problems. Print a test page to detect and correct alignment issues.

Quality Settings:

  • Check your print quality settings. Setting the print quality to 'Best' might improve the print output on envelopes.

Driver Updates:

  • Ensure that your printer drivers are up to date. Visit the HP Support website to download the latest drivers for your HP Envy 4512.

Print From a Different Application:

  • Try printing the envelope from a different application or software program.

Steps to Load Envelopes Correctly:

Prepare the Envelopes:

  • Remove any excess air bubbles inside the envelopes by pressing them down.

Load Envelopes:

  • Insert the envelopes into the input tray with the print side facing down and the flap to the left.
  • Adjust the paper width guides to fit tightly against the edges of the envelope without bending them.

Adjust Printer Settings:

  • Go to the printer settings on your computer.
  • Choose “Envelope” as the paper type.
  • Ensure the alignment settings match the loaded envelopes.

I hope this helps.
