Printing envelopes on a new Dell A940
I just purchased a new system & this A940 all-in-one printer from Dell. Hooked up the printer and letters printed fine. Do I have to remove the paper each time that a print an envelope? I tried to print the envelope with and without the paper and slid the paper guide like the manual said but nothing prints on the envelope. I was on hold with Dell this am for 2 1/2 hour total and I am not a happy camper! I print letters and envelopes every day and I cannot be removing the paper each time I print an envelope! Help! I even reinstalled the drivers etc. What can I do?

Lmax,
Since the A940 has only 1 paper path, I would say that you have to remove the paper when printing envelopes. What program are you using to print your envelopes? I use Microsoft Word to print envelopes and haven't had any problems (except when I forgot to move the paper guide.)
