Does this printer handle #10 envelopes well? Are there any feed issues and is a separate tray necessary?

it easily handles #10 envelopes by the hand feed utilizing tray 1. however, i find it best if no more than 2 envelopes at a time are fed. every once in a while them don't come out right and must be re-fed. however, i am happy with this function.

I have not printed envelopes on this model as yet but tray 2 under the machine can be set to hold the envelopes in the middle of the tray & since it appears to work in a similar manner to my former 3500a officejet I have no doubt it will work. So far I have done letter (single & double sided), legal (single & double sided) using tray 1 with has a side entry, as well as booklet using legal paper in tray 1. All printed without any issues & with a speed I used to just dream about. The 3500a was fast at over 30ppm but it slowed down a lot when doing double sided & could only do double sided with letter paper. This printer slows very little when you consider each sheet is 2 pages & does a great job. Since the envelopes are a single sided process I will have to test that just to find out but I suspect they will print at nearly full speed as well. I also just purchased the $129 5 cartridge ink set from the other estore & have just run a few test sheets with the black cartridge, much larger than the startup cartridge included with the printer, & there seems to be no issues there, so far. Time will tell but the price is worth the test. All in all, at this time, I couldn't be happier with this printer & its performance. I paid $300 for the 3500a about 5 years ago & printed many times the pages recommended & have now paid, it finally failed, the same for this printer so am looking forward to at least 5 years of great performance.

Yes, it prints envelopes. I print about 80 envelopes every other month for a newsletter for a non-profit organization. I use Open Office, creating a data base with all the members, and then am able to print envelopes with a return address and the members address. You can only fit about 10-12 envelopes at a time in the tray, and I have had the flap on the envelopes cause a paper jam. It sure beats buying Avery labels and printing and sticking them to the envelopes.

This is a wide format printer and the paper input tray is adjustable. I only use single manual feed for 11x17 because I am doing t-shirt transfers but it has no problem feeding automatically on any other size I have tried and see no reason why 11x17 would behave any differently. So far I am very pleased with this printer.

I don't have either of these items, but did took a quick look at the HP website. They have possibly two envelope feeders available for the same price. They look exactly alike in the pictures, but only one of them has information on which printers it works with. I didn't see the P3015 listed. I would call HP for the correct information on compatible printers.

The printer doesn't have a single sheet feeder that I have found. There is only one paper drawer. The drawer capacity is very small for a laser printer. I believe you can load envelopes in the drawer but you have to remove the paper first. I haven't had a need to print labels but I'm sure you can load Avery labels in the 8-1/2 x 11 inch feeder

I printed on 8.5x11" photo paper via the rear paper feed. I didn't try through tray 2, as I did not want to bend the paper. I've had nothing but trouble with this printer, though. Epson is sending me my third printer, as the second one had the same clogged nozzles proble as the first.

You can definitely print #10 envelopes. I print them all the time. It's just a little more complicated than it should be. The secret is that you have to select the proper paper source in the printer dialog. Then, you need to put a single envelope face side up in the Upper/Multi-purpose Tray (it will start pulling it in, let go at that point) then turn on the screen and select COM10, hit enter, and select the proper paper source.

Thanks for the responses. Can it print something as small as a 4 x 6 card? I'm shopping for a nonprofit school, and we do a lot of mailings. So smooth envelope feeding is essential. Do you know how many envelopes you can load at a time?

I'm not at our home with that printer so while I think it does (where you print envelopes) I can't say for sure; however I print 3 part checks from the regular paper tray with no problem.

Sure! Quite easily...There is a slot just above the paper feed. For my printer, I must place the envelope face down. I really like this printer. Bought one for my office about 8 years ago, and it is still running strong.

This printer has an internal paper tray (referred to as the cassette) that will hold 150 sheets of plain paper. It's great because there is a tray selection mode called "Paper Allocation" where you tell the print driver what kind of paper is loaded in the cassette (I have plain paper in there.) When I print using plain paper the printer will access the cassette. But if I select some other type of paper then it automatically feeds from the rear tray. I never have to fuss with which tray to feed from. This is nice because I print on envelopes so I never end up printing an address on plain paper, or trying to print a letter on an envelope.

Yes, the printer can be fed envelopes and papers from the back, rather than the paper tray.

You can feed envelopes thru the fold-down tray in front but the envelopes come out curled and wrinkled, in my experience. The HP 400 does a better job at this.

It only accommodates one tray. You can manually expand it for legal paper, but you then have to reconfigure the tray for letter size. It's a great printer, works very nicely scanning wirelessly with excellent included software. The only negative, which is true with the wireless and non-wireless versions is that the bypass feed when used for envelopes is not always smooth or consistent.

It prints envelopes via the manual bypass slot on the front of the paper tray. It is manual (one by one). I have not tried to print stacks of envelopes from the paper tray though. It may be possible to print limited size stacks (25).

I have only printed two envelopes and they came out fine without jamming. The manual says you can print a maximum of 3 at a time (face up) using the front multi-purpose tray and adjust the width to match the envelopes width which is easy to do. The inconvenience is that you have to open the back of the machine (this is where the envelopes come out). I say this is an inconvenience because my printer has the back facing the wall which means I have to rotate it 90 degrees so I have room to open the back cover. I think most people place their machines with the back facing the wall. Otherwise, performance wise, it's 2/2 without a jam. I'll repost if I run into any problems.

Hi I have been using this machine for about almost 2 years. The envelopes can be feeded via the front tray not via the bottom tray. Even if you have 2 trays.
