Having trouble printing envelopes from iMac.

[ChattanoogaSam]

I have an IMac and an HP Envy 7640. I don't have any trouble printing anything on paper but when I try to print envelopes it just makes some noise and then ejects a blank envelope.  I have looked at every you tube video I can find on the subject and tried everything they have suggested but nothing makes it work.  I can put paper back in and it prints fine.  Can you help me?

Hey there! @ChattanoogaSam, Welcome to HP forums.

I understand you have issues printing envelopes from your printer.

Don't worry I'll try to help you out.

Did you any changes to your printer?

What application are you using to print envelopes?

What size of the envelope are you trying to print from your printer?

I have checked the printer specifications and please find the supported envelopes on your printer. If you are using a different type or size of an envelope, you may not be able to print.

Media sizes supported (U.S. standard)
Letter, Legal, 4 x 6 in, 5 x 7 in, 8 x 10 in, No. 10 envelopes

Media sizes, custom
76 x 127 to 216 x 356 mm (3 x 5 to 8.5 x 14 in)

Refer the product specifications page of your printer for more information. Click Here

Print an envelope

Print an envelope
You can print envelopes from within Pages, as described below, or from the Contacts app on your Mac.

With Pages open, choose File > New (from the File menu at the top of your screen).

Click Stationery on the left side of the template chooser.

Scroll down to the Envelopes section, then double-click an envelope template.

In the Document  sidebar, click the Document tab.

Click the second pop-up menu in the Printer & Paper Size section, then choose an envelope size.

If you don’t see the size you need, you can set a custom size. Choose File > Page Setup (from the File menu at the top of the screen), click the Paper Size pop-up menu, then choose Manage Custom Sizes.

On the envelope template, click placeholder text in the recipient address, then type the address.

You can add or delete lines as needed.

Double-click text in the return address, then type your address.

The return address is a text box. Drag the selection handles if you want to resize it.

Choose File > Print.

Click the Printer pop-up menu, choose a printer, then click Print.

I have tried each of these applications.  From pages and from contacts.  I have chosen legal size envelopes on my computer and on my printer.  It makes a whirring noise then spits out a blank envelope.  I will try it again, though.

Thank you so much.  I don't know what I was doing wrong before but I printed your instructions and followed them to the letter and it worked.  I appreciate the help.
