- Putting the envelope in "in the direction recommended by HP" is *not*
- the way to print an envelope. According to Michael, the way HP
- recommends putting the envelope in is "longwise" not the more
- more logical and sane "Widewise" (put the envelope in the 9 inch
- way, not the 4 inch way that Michael is suggesting).

- If Pagestream allowed you to set the paper size to whatever you
- were printing things would be *so* much easier.

- Which is an unstable printing position, it also calls on you to bring

- envelope in question. Really, it *doesn't* work. I tried. I
- tried a lot. I wrote you about trying it your way, it doesn't
- work. Really. Honest. Please put a requester in PageStream
- printing window that allows you to use sizes other and the
- standard paper sizes... you would be surprised how often I am
- printing things onto non-standard size "paper".
