Pages and photos print just fine. But I need to rotate the document 90
degrees to print. Or tell the printer that there is an envelope in it.

A #10 envelope is too long to fit thru the printer length wise, so you
must insert it sideways. But no matter what I do in the software,
switching between landscape or portrait, it will only print across as if
a piece of paper was in the printer. And if set to portrait, just cuts
off the end of the address when printing on paper.

I print DL size envelopes (206mm x 97mm) using OpenOffice Writer. I
don't know the dimensions of a "#10 business envelope", but I print my
envelopes through a standard A4 laser printer.

I recall having a lot of the same problems as you report; I did have to
muck about a bit. I think what I did was set the paper size *in the
document* to those dimensions, then landscaped it. The envelopes are
then fed through the manual feed slot *lengthwise*.

Anyway, I can send you a sample file if you wish. Let me know in a
personal email if you do wish.

Rest assured it is possible to print sideways, as long as the printable
area can be moved through your printer :-)

Regards, K.
