arrrrrgh! I'm trying to print an envelope and it ain't working

[libnnc]

Dell 720 printer

I'm using MS Word (Office XP). It isn't printing at all. It cycles through and sounds like it's printing but there's nothing on the paper. Ink levels are fine (I've printed other docs with no problem). What am I doing wrong?

5. Dunno about Word and that printer but...

I've had odd problems in the past when the printer was trying to print on the half where there was no envelope and didn't bother to give me an error message. Just happily spit out a blank envelope.

Perhaps check the formatting.

6. Can't help you. All printers, copiers and faxes hate me.

They held a big meeting once upon a time, and decided they would never function correctly for me. Bastids.

7. I have a Dell 1700 and it gives me fits when I try to print envelopes.

It will always print out test pages on the envelopes twice before the actual envelope prints. What a waste of envelopes!
