Envy 5530
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Trying to print a DL sized envelope (11 x 22 cms) using Word and the Envy 5530. I've loaded it according to the instructions on the HP site several times, but the printer keeps ejecting it stating that the paper is too short. I've moved the envelope back and forth in the tray just to make sure that its start position is ok, but no joy.

Welcome back to the HP Forums @Donfitzg,

 

I read your post about the troubles you are having with printing DL envelopes from your Envy 5530, and wanted to stop in and share my own suggestions. The printer certainly supports this type of sized envelope, so I would recommend running the Print and Scan Dr. (below), to see if it can fix any printer software issues. If the Full Feature driver and software is not installed, install the full software and try the print again.

 

Here is also a specific guide about printing on envelopes. The instructions and diagrams might help out too. Printing Envelopes (Windows)

 

 

Using Print and Scan Doctor for Windows to Help Resolve Printer Issues

 

 

You can use the Printer Install Wizard here to install the full software for your printer: Using HP Diagnostic Tools for HP Printers in Windows

 

 

 

If you have any troubles, let me know and I will do my best to help.
