Re: can't print envelope

Well, maybe I can put an end to this thread (since I started it).

After much frustration and much google searching, I finally came across a
blurb stating that Word and epson do not see 'eye to eye' with regard to
printing envelopes. With that being said, I reinstalled (basic
installation) Open Office, which I had been playing around with, some time
back.

Long story short: I can easily print an envelope without any hassle
whatsoever. I have no problem with HD space (250GB), takes about the same
time to do as in Word, and my need to print envelopes now is minimal, since
my job hunting days are over. I guess I should try printing some labels.

Small price to pay to great print quality.
