Printing envelopes with a LaserJet 5000 in Word 2002 - Part 2

[Guest]

I've never had a problem printing envelopes with my old LaserJet 4 and two
Epson photo printers (I have three connected).The orientation on the new
LaserJet 5000 is not correct. The two Epsons are 700 Photo and 2000P. It was
suggested that I hack the registry but I'm not quite sure since there are
more than one printer.

Don't hack the registry. Whatever the problem may be -- most likely settings
in the Printer Driver set up -- screwing around with the registry is not
likely to fix it.

Try fiddling with the Options, Printing Options button in Envelope printing
window. Look to see which printing options Word suggests for that particular
printer. You must select the new printer as the default, however. You can't
choose a printer from the list with envelopes and labels as you can when
printing docs.

On the contrary - the envelope orientation is stored (individually for each
printer) in the registry and Word does not always get it right.
The original suggestion as indicated in the link I posted to the earlier
question, and repeated below, should work and will not affect other
printers. In any case, it is a simple matter to revert to the original
setting.
