printing an envelope with WORD fails

I have an HP OfficeJet Pro 6975 Wireless Printer

I tried to print an envelope on two computers with Windows 10:
#1 Word 2003
#2 Word 2019

On #1 with Word 2003 I got the same error as you, paper size mismatch.




On #2 with Word 2019 the envelope printed fine.

I checked the HP website and found a new driver dated March 10, 2022. I installed the new HP Basic print driver.

I tried to print the envelope with Word 2003 again. This time the envelope printed OK.*Thumbs

 

Printing envelopes

I try to print envelopes from an existing address list using word 2013 or word pad I get to the envelope set up with the address and return address shown but when I press print it does not go to the printer but goes to "save as" and does not print the
envelope. I'm in Windows 10 and my printer is Canon MP490.

 

printing an envelope with WORD fails

Been using WORD 2003 for many years, including Win8.1 My laptop hard drive was replaced with an SSD and the installers upgraded me to Win10. Now when I try to print a size 10 (long) envelope, using the same WORD2003, the printer complains that I am not using the correct size paper in the tray. If I change the setting using the printer's touch window (to 4x9 1/2), the same error occurs, the printer does not realize that it's an envelope. If I make no changes but put in 8 1/2 x 11 paper and print an envelope from Word, it prints fine. Interestingly, my wife's identical laptop, but running 8.1, has no problems at all, just as it was when I was on 8.1 So the update to Win 10 prevents me from printing an envelope. Probably have to buy a Word that is Win10 compatible.
