Envelope Printer

George10:
Just started using your Envelope Printer. Works good so far. My question involves printing to envelope sizes not shown in drop down menu. I use primarily a #10 envelope which is included but do not see 2 other common sizes I sometimes need. How do you print to envelope sizes not included?

Such as: (1) Personal Size envelope 3 5/8 x 6 1/2"  or (2)  #9 size 3.875 x 8.875".  Is there a way to create a template for missing sizes or are you limited to the sizes you have included or do you have plans to add missing sizes?

Just answered that here

So as it says there, right now the program loads the supported paper sizes that the printer reports.

For me I just need to know the paper size for positioning the delivery address. So I am going to test on adding my own sizes and maybe let people add their own, do the math and then calculate the proper position, I am just curious if it will print out ok that way, I would think it would, I will do some tests.

But if it works well then it is nothing more than knowing the sizes, so adding extra sizes shouldn't be hard to do. I just haven't ever done it yet so I dont want to promise anything till i try :-)

Shane:
You know, the other paper sizes that the printer supports we dont really need, we just need envelope sizes, so if I can make this work with the printer without having to use its own sizes then I think I will no load the paper sizes from the printer and instead just list all the envelope sizes,

I dont know what all the sizes are so I looked for a list, does this list look complete to you?

Yes. Those appear to be all the common and less common sizes. Certainly the common ones are listed there that are not included in program. If those could be added as listed somehow, that would be great for virtually anyone using it.

Shane:
I am actually working on it now. So far I have a sizes.dat file which can be edited with notepad that holds the sizes and those show up in the list box.

So I have to test how things will work when I dont set the paper size to the printer but instead just set the x and y cords and see how it does. The real test is if the printer requires a paper size or not. Every printer is different so not sure.

One I have it done and tested on my hp laserjet I will post a build on here for you to try and test before I put out an update :wink:
