The M148FDW envelope feed is the center of the printing area. When I try to print an envelope Pages sends it to the printer as though it were the left side of an 8.5” x 11” piece of paper. As a result the return address is totally off of the envelope and the Recipient address is at the very top of the envelope.
How do I fix this problem. The template looks perfect.
Mac mini, macOS 11.5
It is the File menu > Print… print panel from Pages v11.2 on macOS 11.6.
Does the printer accommodate your physically sliding the envelope feeder apparatus to the left instead of in the center, or the print panel allow you to declare that output should go to the center feed tray for the envelope?
No, you can adjust the width of the "priority" feeder but it is always centered. I haven't found any way to tell the app that the feed tray is centered. That would be an ideal situation.
It is wierd the same template outputs centered on iOS pages but it has a different problem. It thinks that the width of the envelope is the length so it truncates the output.
If I go into Printer Utility and tell it that Tray1 is #10 Envelope, it prints correctly, however, I then have to go back into Printer utility and tell it that Tray1 is Letter. So maybe this is actually an HP problem.
My print panel doesn't look like yours. In the pull down menu that shows Paper/Quality there are 11 different choices. The two below are the closest to what you are showing. Neither of them seems to help. I found that "If I go into Printer Utility and tell it that Tray1 is #10 Envelope, it prints correctly, however, I then have to go back into Printer utility
and tell it that Tray1 is Letter. So maybe this is actually an HP problem."
In the Pages Print panel, under Media & Quality, what options does your printer driver offer for Feed from: and Media Type?
I using Pages 11.2 (7032.0.145) and I can't seem to find a panel like that. How do I get to it?
You might want to be going into all those options and looking for Paper Size... But HP looks like HP Sauce.
Because your printer driver is overriding the standard Apple Pages printer panel that AirPrint provides for my Samsung Laser printer.
