Problem description: Steps to reproduce: 1. Insert 2. Envelope 3. New Doc. or Insert Current behavior: For #10 envelope, when the envelope is inserted into document or created as new document, the formatting changes as follows: Name of format changes from "#10 Envelope" to "User" Height changes from 4.13" to 6.31" Margin-top changes from 0 to 2.19" Offsets from anchor point are increased by 2.18" vertical Expected behavior: Expect to format as previewed Platform (if different from the browser): Browser: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:14.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/14.0.1
I can confirm this exact problem while using Version 3.6.3.2 (Build ID: 58f22d5) Windows 7 64-bit Canon MG5320 printer Standard LO installation - all defaults, templates, etc.
Hi, I am seeing this exact behavior as well on Ubuntu 12.04 with this LO build info: LibreOffice 3.5.7.2 Build ID: 350m1(Build:2)
Confirmed twice -> NEW. Kind regards, Joren
I can confirm this problem with ver 4.1.3.2 using a Canon MF4370dn printer using the UFRII-LT ver 2.5 drivers. It appears that the printer driver specifies an unprintable area that intwerferes with LibreOffice's envelope definitions.
This also occurs for Canon UFRII Drivers version 2.70. LibreOffice Version: 4.1.3.2 Build ID: 410m0(Build:2) Linux 3.2.0-57-generic #87-Ubuntu SMP Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Dear Tim, Thank you for take the time to report this bug. Someone has reported a similar issue with their brother printer in bug 77277. Can you see if any of the information in that bug helps your situation.
Edited summary for clarity.
this seems a Canon specific issue (added to summary notes)
Hi - I have observed this issue with a Brother HL-2040 printer, so not restricted to Canon
@nyar thanks, just corrected summary notes. please take a look at Bug 77277 and tell me if it looks to you that it's the same issue. we should investigate if Canon and Brother printers have similar drivers or other components. there are multiple envelope bugs which seem specific to these 2 brands.
Hi Tommy, Yes, Bug 77277 is similar, if not identical. The steps to reproduce are the same for my issue. However, if I go to Printer Settings first and select #10 as the paper size, the new document is created with the proper (#10 envelope) size and margins.

The problem as described occurs for me in 5.4.4.2, Build ID: 1:5.4.4~rc2-0ubuntu0.16.04.1~lo1. It is not restricted to Canon and Brother printers; it occurs for me with an HP LaserJet Pro 200 Color, using a print queue configured for #10 envelopes. Specifically, in the Envelope dialog Format:Size:Format is set to #10 Envelope with Width 9.5" and Height 4.13" and Printer:Current Printer is a print queue with media type #10 Envelope. Clicking on Insert results in creation of an envelope image that is much too tall for a #10 envelope, and selecting File: Print shows "C5 Envelope" in the Print dialogue.
Tested on 6.0.0.1 (x64) on Windows 10.0. Results are largely the same, except that switching among the various print destinations available under Windows results in various paper sizes in the Print dialogue: Print to file, Microsoft Print to PDF, Send To OneNote 2016: B5 (JIS) Fax: A4 LaserJet 200: C5 Envelope Microsoft XPS Document Writer: 6.31"x9.50", no media type shown

ecomer could still repro in https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99968#c14 so moving them here from that particular report, which is now closed as WFM by the original reporter Note that in bug 99968, it was revealed that for some printers, the generic Windows driver causes the problem, while using the official driver from the manufacturer works fine.
I have changed printer since my original post, although it is also a Brother. I still see the same problem where #10 envelope opens as a "User" size instead of the #10 envelope.

Fixed for me thanks to a suggestion posted on ask.libreoffice.org: https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/165141/wrong-default-envelope-size-impossible-to-correct/ Went to /home/user/.config (dotfile folder where config files are kept). Deleted the libreoffice folder. Reopened writer, went through the insert - envelope routine. Set format for #10 envelope. WORKED PROPERLY. That fixed it for me also. Apparently some junk leftover from version upgrades was breaking the envelope size/print function.

I just got a new printer, HP Smart Tank 7000 series, and decided to try to get this to work after so many years of never being able to do it. I'm running the latest version of Linux Mint, with Libre Office Community 7.3.7.2 I am having this exact problem. I tried deleting the files in my .config directory, but that didn't help the problem at all. After readjusting the 2.19" margin, moving the text boxes to a reasonable position, and trying to print, it prints a blank envelope, then prints the envelope successfully. But I think it will be a LOT easier for me just to create a document the size of the envelope, and edit that to print. Hard to believe this problem is still around 12 years later, for such a common task. And in case you're wondering, yes I have contributed to the project in the past.

I have a laptop with the the same version of Linux Mint, and I found that it does not have this problem. It had a newer kernel, so I upgraded the kernel on my problem desktop, with no success. I then deleted as much of Libre office as I could, and searched out all the configuration files in my home directory, and in /etc which had some configuration. I then installed version 24.8.3.2, and replaced a few configuration files it found that I had missed. I still have the exact problem. Since it worked on the laptop, there must be some sort of system configuration file somewhere that I've missed, because it's the same printer. I can adjust the resulting envelope and save it as a file, then use that file to edit and print an envelope successfully. Or use a document I created that is similar but was rotated to portrait mode, which matches the printer, and both will print successfully. Not as convenient, but at least it works.
