Is there anyone out there using the NeXTPrinter on envelopes?? I've found out that the Printer will very happily accept envelopes as manually fed, but if you stack 'em up in the paper trya, you are guarenteed a "Paper Jam" message. Anyone managed to get the Printer to feed from the paper tray? How??

I found that if you reduce the stack to about 10-12 envelopes (depending on how "airy" they are) they will go though from the tray without problem. Not a great fix but it (almost) beats using the manual feed. Maybe putting a book on top of a stack of envelopes would help flatten them and more could be placed in the tray-aaahhhh, at last a use for "The NeXT Bible"! Charlie
