problem printing envelopes :-(

We've just purchased a HP2605dn Color LaserJet.

For the 1st couple of days, I had no problem printing 8.75inx5.75 envelopes using the template [Invitations>Festive Envelope] with the Page Setup on Portait.

Then today, it no longer works. To the best of my memory nothing has been changed. I even trashed the preferences, but I am still unable to print envelopes correctly.

When it was working, I inserted the envelope short-end first ... even though the page setup was for portrait.

Any help would be appreciated.

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.4.8)

The envelope now prints in portait mode ... as I would have expected, but different than the original experience I had.

The problem is that the envelope does not fit into the printer in that mode, and it prints as if the media were 8.5inx11in which places the text on the bottom of the page.

Since the envelope is only 8.75inx5.5in, the text misses the envelope entirely 😟

This likely sounds very confusing. Please ask more questions if I'm not clear.
