does anyone have trouble printing envelopes with this unit

Envelopes print fine using Microsoft Word. Can't say how it prints them using other software.

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....

I have not had any luck with printing multiple envelopes, when I did print envelopes , I fed them one at at time. Otherwise, they would get jammed or the machine would take multiple envelopes at once. Good Luck.

I print all my envelopes at work with this printer (probably 10-15 per week) and it works great for me. Just pull down the manual feed tray, insert the blank envelope (as shown in the drawing on the feed tray) and click "print." So far no jams. Have had this printer at work for about 6 months. I don't know why another reviewer said the printed envelopes come out the back of the printer. Mine don't. They come out printed side down at the same place a printed sheet of paper comes out. (To clarify, I am using #10 size business envelopes.)

Am not able to get Printshop ProPublisher 23 Deluxe to print half fold greeting card envelopes. Also having problems with number of copies ordered. Usually prints far more than I ask for.

I have not had any problems with this printer, although the low toner alert comes on too much in advance. We just ignore the message until ink actually runs low.Otherwise it works well and is reliable.

Yes. You just have to close the flaps of the printer so that the envelopes are secured into position.

I disagree here with the other answers. I have envelopes in Tray 1 and plain paper in Tray 2, then via the web interface I tell the printer what is in each tray. I've never had to choose during a print job, it just goes to the right tray for envelopes or letter size paper. Just for full disclosure this is on a 8630 and using a Mac. YMMV** Update ** This was done via the AirPrint driver, not the HP driver. See comment below on this for details.

I have not tried that, but I am pretty sure it does not. It is a cheap printer. I will never buy a Dell printer again! My main gripe is that it does not have an envelope bypass. I am hand-writing all my envelopes as it is way too much trouble to move the cheap, plastic guides and remove the paper for every envelope. An HP would be worth the extra cost.

It can print envelopes. But if u are just going to use black, I think it's better to get a laserjet.

You must have got a bad one. I have had mine for 2 years and had been working well, even in storage periodically.With any printers, I follow each step religiously, waiting for it to complete every cycle and have to retread the instructions each time I use or change the cartridge. Keep on trying. I don't bother fixing printers. It is too complicated and a waste of time and money. And I print thru the wire, not remotely just to eliminate another problem. They are sensitive creatures.

I have tried to get it to do 1 envelope and I was unsuccessful. Haven't tried multiple envelopes.

I'm not at our home with that printer so while I think it does (where you print envelopes) I can't say for sure; however I print 3 part checks from the regular paper tray with no problem.

I wish I could help you. It is not a good printer, I have other problems. I wish I had returned it.

I haven't printed envelopes specifically, but it has printed every non-standard (8.5 X 11) paper size I've fed it including: labels sheets, business cards, small name card labels, and more. I hope that helps!

Saying you can is not the same thing as saying it works. Like W.C. Hanson, Jr. I cannot print envelopes out of the multi-purpose tray. I follow all the instructions and it completely ignores the envelope. It does load it likes it going to work, but no matter what the settings I try it pulls only from the main paper tray. I spent hours trying to find an answer and "You certainly can" is not an answer!

Yes am not able to get correct number of copies to print. Additionally, half fold envelopes do not print correctly, sizing is WAY off. Am also have a few issues with viewing clip art files.
