[quote Robert M]Clay,
Don't expect any printer to handle envelopes well. In all the years I've used printers ranging from ancient dot matrix models on an Apple II+ through lasers printers with dedicated envelope trays to modern lasers and inkjets, none have ever handle envelopes well. In the end, it was vastly easier just to use a label printer, print on sheets of labels, hand address the envelopes, etc. That and if you must do envelopes, avoid using window envelopes. The plastic can melt during the printing process.

Good points, Robert. I don't know why we hadn't just gone the label route, but that would probably make more sense overall in our situation.
