I have an Envelope template in Pages. But when I print, it prints like a full size 8.5x11 sheet of paper. I see no “Envelope” setting in Pages. How do I print an envelope from Pages. The printer is an HP Officejet 5740.
iPad Pro 12.9-inch, 2nd Gen, Wi-Fi
Hello, Peggy,
Thank you for your reply. Here is the environment info that was missing from my first post (sorry):
iPad Pro 12.9 (2nd Gen). iOS 12.2. Pages 5.0.1. HP Officejet 5740.
Like yourself, I chose a Classic Envelope; Attachment 1 shows that envelope open in Pages. It looks like an envelope.
Attachment 2 shows the envelope in the AirPrint window (after tapping the Print button under “...” in Attachment 1). Here’s where the problem becomes evident. The envelope displays as an 8.5x11 sheet of paper, not as an envelope; and it prints like a sheet of paper, too. I cannot find a setting for “Envelope”, either in Pages or in the AirPrint window.
Attachment 3: After selecting “Document Setup” in Pages (in Attachment 1).
Attachment 4: After selecting the little box in the upper right corner (in Attachment 3).
Attachment 5: After selecting “Custom Size” (in Attachment 4).
Could the problem be that AirPrint does not know about envelopes, and thus the information is not passed to it from Pages?
Thank you for your help.

Since you have now made it clear that you are using Pages for iOS, I will ask the hosts to move this topic to the iWork for iOS forum where you are more likely to get specific responses.
I rarely use Pages for iOS & never print from iOS but I did check. I did use an envelope template & it does look like yours. I have no need to print an envelope so I can't test further.
You haven't said what version of Pages you are using or if you are using Pages on a Mac (your profile only lists an iPad Pro) so I have to make some assumptions.
Using Pages 8.0 on a Mac running High Sierra, macOS 10.13.6, I have chosen the "classic envelope" then clicked on "Document" as in my first screenshot. Then clicked "Other" & chose the #10 envelope from the menu that appeared (second screenshot).
If you are using a different version of Pages or OS (Mac or iOS) please post back as the steps may be different.
Thank you for your reply, Peggy. And thanks for getting my topic moved to the iWork for iOS forum (I didn’t realize I was in the wrong one). Jacques
