ID: Q90731

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-CD, 2.0b, 2.0c, 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

SUMMARY

In Word for Windows, envelopes print merge incorrectly using the Hewlett-Packard (HP) PostScript Cartridge Plus and the Windows version 3.1 HP LaserJet Series IIID PostScript printer driver version 3.5 or 3.51. If you print merge more than one envelope, the first envelope prints from the envelope feeder and subsequent envelopes print from the default tray. Moreover, the text prints backwards, so you must hold the envelope up to a mirror to read it.

MORE INFORMATION

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the PostScript printer driver versions 3.5 and 3.51 for Windows version 3.1 (PSCRIPT.DRV). This problem was corrected in the PostScript printer driver versions 3.52 and 3.53. These printer drivers are also available on the Microsoft Windows Driver Library (WDL).
