this printer cannot print envelopes from the multi-purpose tray, although a samsung sales rep told me it can before i purchased it. you must manually feed envelopes through the envelope slot. not practical for a 'business to business' model printer. i am terribly dissatisfied with this printer and do not recommend it to anyone. get a brother or hp

I have only printed a few, but it works just fine. I printed the envelopes out of Word. Envelopes load in the front of the printer via the manual load tray.

I had s similar problem with printer not working. I ended up purchasing a new printer through Amazon. Sorry I can't help you further.

I used this printer in April 2014 to print envelopes for wedding invitations and envelopes. Although there is a minimum size (I couldn't print the RSVP return envelopes), I had no problem configuring the printer for many non-standard sizes. I can configure the driver for any size media between the largest and smallest sizes it handles.

They have manuals on their sometimes confusing site. I seldom print envelopes on this printer as I hate the flimsy paper tray and found paper set up to be a pain. So, I use my HP or Canon for envelopes.

I can't imagine any printer being able to have it run through. I've ordered some adhesive labels that are on their way, but in the meantime, I've been just taping a half sheet of paper with addressing info onto the envelope.

Sounds like your settings need to be changed back to a paper setting. Go into the settings on your printer and change it there.

I have the same proble. Epson has sent me 2 printers. tells me it's a hardware issue. I know it's not. the printer does exactly what yours is doing. any resolution? Glenn

Yes, I have printed quite a number of envelopes using this printer. You must adjust the two paddles on the feed tray to fit the width of the envelopes.

They came out with another firmware in late July but I haven't printed any envelopes yet to see if it helped any. This is what works for me..... Push the envelope into the slot _lightly_ until you will feel a slight stop. Do NOT push any further! Just use your finger tips at the rear most part of the envelope. Within a few seconds (5 or 6 seconds if the printer is asleep) you should feel the printer grab the envelope, it will only move a very slight amount, maybe 1/8th of an inch, you have to pay attention, then you should be able to print normally. It works for me every time now. I've had mine over a year. I found it out from another poster. After digging into Brothers web site and reading their manuals I actually did see where Brother mentioned the same thing, but I had to do a lot of digging to find it. I think it was buried in their trouble shooting section? Thank goodness I don't print a lot of envelopes, that's actually my only nit pick, well, that and having to open the back of the printer when printing envelopes. Also, I use the cheaper standard envelopes and I found that if you use the handle of a butter knife or another flat utensil and flatten the envelope first it will get rid of 90% of the wrinkles. Hoped it helps....

Sorry, but it has been a few years since I've installed it, I can't remember. I think I followed the instructions in my manual which is how I found out what the problem was. Also my Printer is a Canon Pixma530.

My PIXMA MP500 wonj't accept the paper for printing. Anyone know what is wrong?

I have used 110 lb cardstock with this printer and it prints fine with it. They recommend loading "special" paper from the back, but I've used it in the front-loading tray. As to the envelope question, there is a guide both in the front and rear. As to whether or not it's specific for envelopes, I don't know. I haven't printed envelopes yet. But the guides to adjust to accommodate envelope-sized items.

If you print envelopes a lot, like I do, I think it works well using the two-tray 8630 version. Here's how I did it. Plain Paper goes into tray two, envelopes in tray one (only place they are supported). Now, on the display choose your Default Tray as Tray 2 and Lock Tray 1. This will make sure regular print jobs go to plain paper in tray 2 and if it runs out of paper the printer won't automatically pull from tray 1 (that's what tray lock means). Now, via the Web Interface for the printer I told it that Tray 2 has plain letter size paper, and Tray 1 has my envelopes (you specify size there). Now, when I print an envelope it knows to pull from Tray 1 and everything else goes to Tray 2. On my Mac I've never had to tell it what tray to use, the printer just knows and pulls from the correct location. Your mileage may vary, etc.

Hmm. I was wondering what you meant so I went in to print an invoice PDF. I couldn't even get that far. Mine has an error message that says the printer is not activated (error -30). Worked on that for a bit through my printers but never did get it working. Luckily anymore I send invoices by email but I would like the option, for those oldtimers, to be able to save to PDF then fax from my computer. Saves paper!

Have you changed the paper setting in the printer setup software? I don't know if that will help. I have done business cards in mine.

I haven't experienced this problem with heavier stock, per se, but I have had a problem with larger envelopes, specifically 6x9, which the printer apparently doesn't recognize as envelopes, and with labels when it doesn't know they're labels. This can be avoided by opening the printer Properties to the Printing Shortcuts tab and selecting "Envelope" or "Label" as the paper type.
