Envelopes print blank in Office (Word) 2003 Std Edition
Windows XP Pro
Windows Server 2003 HP Laserjet 4000 (black toner only) I have one user who printed envelopes to this printer until a couple weeks ago when the envelopes started feeding through the printer but printing blank. No hardware or software changes on the problem computer. Other users can print envelopes on this printer from other computers and I was able to print envelopes from the problem computer while logged in as administrator. The user can print other documents on this printer just not envelopes. I uninstalled the printer and re-installed the driver and printer. Should I be looking for something in Word? User's Windows Profile? -- Dennis |

Make sure you go into your printing program and choose the proper size
of envelope. It sounds like you may have chosen the wrong size.

Possible, you could try turn off "Background printing" (Tools, Options,

Envelopes print blank in Office (Word) 2003 Std Edition
I did more experimenting today. I used an 8.5 x 11 paper instead of an
envelope. Still got a blank page when printing an envelope. So I added 10 lines to the address instead of the normal 3 line and caught a little of the text but the rest was printing way off from the 11 inch margin so that's why everything was blank before. Now I have a new question. How do I center the address to pull it back in from printing beyond the margin? -- Dennis "Bob I" wrote: Possible, you could try turn off "Background printing" (Tools, Options, Print) Dennis wrote: Windows XP Pro Windows Server 2003 HP Laserjet 4000 (black toner only) I have one user who printed envelopes to this printer until a couple weeks ago when the envelopes started feeding through the printer but printing blank.

I think the margins might be screwed up in your envelope setup.
