Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 15704
OOo does not ask for manual paper feed before envelope printout (was: Problem printing envelopes)
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:30:08 UTC
When I print try tp print on an envelope with openoffice, I have run into several problems. One, on an HP 4si, was that it would not ask for a manual feed and print on standard letter paper. I have tried envelope printing on several versions of OOo, 1.0.1, 1.0.2 and 1.0.3 on two primary OSes, Linux and win2k and have as yet succeeded. The second problem was trying to print to a Minolta-QMS 2300DL. I would a size type error when I tried to print on a #10 envelope. I followed the directions for the printer, tried varying amounts of envelopes, tried printing with standard letter paper (and received the Size/Type error too). I have been able to print envelopes on these printers with MS Word. I am using the envelopes setup located under insert. There isn't very much beyond that for documentation. In summary, on one printer I get it printing out on standard paper instead of waiting for the envelope (removing all media trays should not be necessary and I still have not been able to get it to work), the HP, and on the other it doesn't seem to recognize that I have the appropreiate media in the tray. This is the other major use I have for MS Word and would like to help get the wrinkles worked out with OOo :)
cp->hi: I have no idea about this one, nor am I able to reproduce it. Can you check if there is something broken in this regard or if we need some enhancement ?
For a long time we had no activity on this issue. Wolftales, is it still actual with OOo 1.1.0? If yes, we should do a second attempt to reproduce it. Rainer
Please try using the latest OpenOffice 1.1.1rc3 , you can download it from http://download.openoffice.org/1.1.1rc3/index.html many bug fixes and enhancements since your version and 1.1.1rc3 . If the problem still happend in 1.1.1rc3 please report back. It maybe not yet solve your Issue, but it worth to try. and Feel free to reopen it again. Long time no activity, old version, no further comment, worksforme
Long time no activity, old version, no further comment, worksforme and Feel free to reopen it again with more data.
As of Openoffice.org 1.1, I can still not print on an envelope either under linux or windows.
Reopened due to comments from wolftales Wed Mar 24 07:56:07 -0800 2004 We will only handle here the problem "on an HP 4si, was that it would not ask for a manual feed and print on standard letter paper". Wolftales, please add a very simple step by step instruction which contains _all_ details (really every simple mouseclick!) how to reproduce the problem on other PC! Wolftales, for other poroblems please open new issues (after check for duplicates" for other problems, if they are still actual! Rainer
HI->OS: In general envelopes will be fed manual, so we should support this.
This Issue requires more information ('needmoreinfo'), but has not been updated within the last year. Please provide feedback as requested and re-test with one of the latest versions of OOo - the problem(s) may already be addressed.
