I'm afraid not, Ali.  They are purely for labels in rolls.

If you want to print envelopes, the Epson Stylus Photo R300
is an excellent little printer, though don't be put off by
the "Photo" in it's name.  It will also print on to
"printable" CDs.  It comes with SIX individual ink
cartridges.  It also has a number of slots for different
types of memory cards used in digital cameras to enable
direct printing.

It's not the most V.I. friendly of printers, but is an ideal
choice for families where sighted help is usually to hand.

George.
