How well does it print envelopes?

So- so. It prints them with minimum fuss and bother, but (1) they have to be fed one at a time, and (2) it curls them over a roller so they come out slightly wrinkled. It is much better than my prior Bother printer that required me to change several computer and mechanical settings EVERY time I wanted to print an envelope.

It will depend on the printer speed but there is no speed rating for envelope printing.

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!

Yes. So far, I don't have any problem when printing the envelope on Canon laser printer.

I print all my envelopes at work with this printer (probably 10-15 per week) and it works great for me. Just pull down the manual feed tray, insert the blank envelope (as shown in the drawing on the feed tray) and click "print." So far no jams. Have had this printer at work for about 6 months. I don't know why another reviewer said the printed envelopes come out the back of the printer. Mine don't. They come out printed side down at the same place a printed sheet of paper comes out. (To clarify, I am using #10 size business envelopes.)

Thanks for the responses. Can it print something as small as a 4 x 6 card? I'm shopping for a nonprofit school, and we do a lot of mailings. So smooth envelope feeding is essential. Do you know how many envelopes you can load at a time?

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.

Yes, it prints envelopes. I print about 80 envelopes every other month for a newsletter for a non-profit organization. I use Open Office, creating a data base with all the members, and then am able to print envelopes with a return address and the members address. You can only fit about 10-12 envelopes at a time in the tray, and I have had the flap on the envelopes cause a paper jam. It sure beats buying Avery labels and printing and sticking them to the envelopes.

I would say no. Unlike past models from HP you cannot feed envelopes from the top. You now have to pull out a paper tray to print an envelope. This is a lot more time consuming. Envelopes will print though.

I have only printed two envelopes and they came out fine without jamming. The manual says you can print a maximum of 3 at a time (face up) using the front multi-purpose tray and adjust the width to match the envelopes width which is easy to do. The inconvenience is that you have to open the back of the machine (this is where the envelopes come out). I say this is an inconvenience because my printer has the back facing the wall which means I have to rotate it 90 degrees so I have room to open the back cover. I think most people place their machines with the back facing the wall. Otherwise, performance wise, it's 2/2 without a jam. I'll repost if I run into any problems.

We print envelopes and such through the rear paper tray, try it. Make sure you specify the rear tray as "paper source". The front trays are pretty useless for that purpose.

It does do envelopes, in fact better than packages. I often give up on packages and weigh them on a good "people scale" that goes down to the eighth of a pound. I would say it works okay, not a 5-star machine.

I am satisfied.I only use it to print reading materials for myself and use save toner mode.I am not sure about your usage and quality requirement.

You can definitely print #10 envelopes. I print them all the time. It's just a little more complicated than it should be. The secret is that you have to select the proper paper source in the printer dialog. Then, you need to put a single envelope face side up in the Upper/Multi-purpose Tray (it will start pulling it in, let go at that point) then turn on the screen and select COM10, hit enter, and select the proper paper source.

I haven't printed envelopes specifically, but it has printed every non-standard (8.5 X 11) paper size I've fed it including: labels sheets, business cards, small name card labels, and more. I hope that helps!

Not if I am careful to use good (I use hp paper) paper. This great printer will feed envelopes very well. I use that feature to play around with fonts for Christmas cards and gifts. While looking for a good printer for another location I I had bad results with several of the highest rated (by consumer's union) hp printers. This happened in a very dry climate using old paper. I bought new paper and still had feed problems with other hp models. When trying this (8600) - the feed problems just went away. I believe the dry climate drys and stiffens the paper, taxing any printer's feed system. If you are in a dry (or very humid) climate, read all hp instructions about paper storage, loading and feeding. One other problem I brought on myself at the dry climate location - I bought the 8600 at a retailer (big box store). Never again. I bought my latest 8600 directly from hp to get hp support. Best printer decision I ever made. HP warranty and support is world class or better and the first year support is free. I've extended my hardware and hp system support. Next best money I ever spent. Hope this helps you.

Yes but it will only print letter size paper, it will hold envelopes and 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 note paper but it will not print anyting but letter size paper.
