rjack22 -> Printing envelopes (4/27/2018 12:24:39 PM)

How do you set up your printer to print envelopes from Printshop 4.0? I need to tell the printer to print in the center and not on the left or right. I see no settings to do this in Printshop. Can anyone help?

You need to tell your printer that the paper stock you are using is an envelope. For example, if the Print Shop project you are doing is a #10 envelope, you must change your printer setting to #10 envelope by changing the paper stock setting in the printer properties dialog box.

On my computer, if I leave my printer paper stock setting at its default of letter, my envelope project will print in the center of a sheet of letter size paper.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I have already tried that. No go. In Printshop 23 you could actually setup your prjinter from within the program and tell it how to print.

I suppose the easiest workaround is to insert your envelope against the side of the printer where the print occurs, rather than in the middle.

As far as I know, printer settings are controlled by the printer drivers, not the Print Shop program, so it's possible that installing the latest printer driver for your make and model, and operating system, will do the trick.

Yes, I tried that too but my printer, a Canon MX860 will only allow envelopes in the center using the guides. And if I don't use the guides then the envelope either goes in crooked (even if I try to guide it) or it doesn't recognize that the paper is there.

There is one more thing I can think of to try. I was trying to use the rear paper feeder. that I always have used for envelopes. Maybe I can use the front loading feeder. The guides there can be moved. I'll try that next. Thanks for trying to help me.

Let us know if that works!

These printers have so many features now. I only use mine now for its scanning capability.
