Sorry, envelopes will not work unless you buy the $199.00 second tray with the special feeder from Lexmark.

It will print one envelope at a time from the slot at bottom front and center.....you will need to go into the printer setup -- for each envelope -- and click on the MS Word menu labeled "Copies & Pages," click again on "Paper Feed" and when "All Pages From:" appears click on the menu to the right to bring up "Manual Envelope" Then click again on Paper Feed and choose "Paper Handling" drop down and click on Scale to fit paper size, and then pick paper size (#10 business is default). Lexmark will tell you to save this printer setting with some name like ENVELOPE. In my experience, you need to do all these settings for every single envelope, even the ones immediately following each other. Pain in the ass, but it works.

you can change the settings of how it prints in the print function. You can select 'fit to page' or 'none'. I have had to play with this a little bit to get it to come out right. Seems to not always do the same things depending on the document. Hope this helps answer

It WILL print envelopes. They need to be manually fed through the slot behind the narrow rectangular door on the front of the printer.

Yes, just feed the envelope into the front of the printer. Adjust the two margins to the size of the envelope.

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.

Do a search for "hp officejet pro 8500a plus instruction manual" then, in the Table of Contents, click "Print" and "Print on Special and Custom Size Paper". Hopefully, this will provide the information you need, right from the source! I tried (unsuccessfully) some time ago to print a #10 envelope but, having now found this manual, will read the instructions and hopefully also solve a problem for myself! Regarding overall quality, I am very pleased with this printer/scanner.

It's a total mess. The software template won't invert the text for proper printing. Plan to print one side only.

I don't know because I have never printed for an envelope before. I recommend you contact the 1-800 number on the owners manual for assistance.

Yes, I have printed quite a number of envelopes using this printer. You must adjust the two paddles on the feed tray to fit the width of the envelopes.

I use the top tray only for envelopes and the bottom one (which holds more paper) for regular printing. You have to program the printer by going into the paper setup for each tray. The top tray actually has a little impression of an envelope with the flap up so that you know which way to position the stack of envelopes. You will love it!

Is the document too close to the pocket edge? Make sure it is set at hot not cold laminating setting unless you are laminating something thin i.e. a newspaper clipping. Maybe re-read instructions again as well.

I still have the software on my comuter for this printer. Take the paper out of the tray. Grab the entire tray mechanism (photo and larger) by the back end of tray (printer end). Wiggle it a little, then press down carefully on the back of trays (printer side/not front) and see if it clicks into place. The "help" says this is for when the photo tray won't dis-engage, so try it. Maybe when you loaded it the trays lifted a little. Also, this printer seems to have an issue with overloading. Put the paper back in (don't go above the top of the paper guides) then slide in the guides till they touch the paper. See if the top tray will swing down. That's all the menu had, sorry.

Try opening the printer settings from the computer. Also try the settings from the printer itself. Maybe try shutting it off and on.

I had problems with this printer not printing envelopes. I suggest returning the product. I then purchased a Canon mx870. Love it. No problem s.

The printer trays show options for different sizes paper including envelopes different sizes. I have not printed any envelopes yet. There is a user defined feature, where you can define your own document definitions. I would imagine if your envelopes are not pre programmed, you could do it there. I have used that feature for odd sized paper for quilt blocks and machine embroidery templates.

Try turning the pages. I had to do some trial and error to write on the right side, it doesn't work on one side.

They have manuals on their sometimes confusing site. I seldom print envelopes on this printer as I hate the flimsy paper tray and found paper set up to be a pain. So, I use my HP or Canon for envelopes.
