I am using Open Office Writer version 2.3 on a notebook PC running

installed correctly, and that I have the necessary drivers, when I try
to print a document from Writer, I cannot configure it to print on
standard 8.5/11 paper--only limited options appear, and "print
preview" is greyed out under the file menu. I don't have a problem
printing from other programs, such as Windows Notepad. Please
assist. Thank you.

I too have had document print trouble of perhaps a similar nature(Vista?)...
(Open Office Writer version 2.3.1 on a PC running Windows Vista Home
Basic with a Hewlett Packard LaserJet 6P printer.)
While attempting to print a single envelope, following the example seen
here:
http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?listName=discuss&msgNo=61025
I receive a pop up error "Could not start printer. Please check your
printer configuration."
Did as requested. Found nothing to change in printer configurations.
After subsequent attempts the printer refused to print any documents
from various applications(i.e. Open Office, Wordpad, Notepad, Firefox, etc)
This was remedied by uninstalling the printers driver software shutdown
system, then physically detaching the printer from the LPT1 port,
restarting system, then another shutdown to re-attach the printer to the
LPT1 port, restarting system, allowing Vista to 'find new hardware'(I
just love Winders methodology) setting up an Hewlett Packard LaserJet 6P
in the printers folder.
To no avail.... envelopes do not print!
FWIW, I can now print other type documents from various
applications(i.e. Open Office, Wordpad, Notepad, Firefox, etc)
Perhaps one point of interest...
if you can view the screen shot attachment(OOo env print.jpg), take note
of the envelope format displayed in the background.
Under the Envelope > Format tab I'd selected "Env. 10" In the Printer
Envelope orientation tab I selected the 4th option(left vertical feed)
& Print from top.
What additional information may I provide to possibly correct this
envelope printing issue?
