Okay--now we're getting where I was hoping we'd go! :) So how do you print
out individual address labels with your printer?

Chip is correct. If you're using an envelope that is not standard
business size, then you'll also hae to change the settings.
I usually just print all my addresses on labels and stick them on the
cards. Much easier than trying to feed all those envelopes through the
printer.

Robert,
Don't you also have to tell the printer what size envelope you have? I
believe the default is a standard business size envelope and most
Christmas
cards, for example, are a different size. If you do not change the
size, it
could print the addresses in the wrong place or maybe miss the envelope
all
together.
