Unable to print envelopes

[franzvote]

I use mac ventura with libreoffice 7.5.2.2. Printing documents is no problem but envelops with not print. I have spent hours on this problem and finally have given up. I now creat envelopes in PAGES and print from that app with no problem. Please fix this issue.

Well, I created an envelope in LibreOffice and then tried to print it. The envelope went through the manual feed on our Brother printer but there was no text to be found anywhere. Just a blank envelope. Then I created an envelope in PAGES and printed it the same way with success. So I guess LibreOffice just doesn’t do envelopes.

Envelope printing in MacOSX

whatever I try with page style, it does not seem possible to to format a horizontal C5 Paper size in libreOffice, that coreesponds to a C5 envelope which I can put vertiacally into the printer’s paper feed: LibreOffice is not very conform with MacOS paper management it seems. In Apple’s pages app, I can configure an enfelope displaying horizontally on my screen but printing vertically on paper easily.

Basically, it doesn’t work as designed, and hasn’t for a long while, but as with all LO problems on macOS, it often takes years for the problem to even be recognized, and often even longer to get fixed. Sad state of affairs, but experience has shown this to be true time and time again.
