Rgrf,
I've yet to find _any_ mainstream printer that handles envelopes well. Even old Laserwriter II series machines with a dedicated envelope cassette did a craptacular job with envelopes. With a laser printer, one of the biggest issues was the heat of the fusing process inadvertently sealing the envelopes. So, an inkjet print is actually a better choice.
The problem is finding a printer that can handle envelopes well. A handful, occasionally, any inkjet printer with an appropriate manual feed will be fine. More than that, though, and printing envelopes directly is more trouble than its worth. In the end, a dedicated label printer may prove to be the more appropriate choice.
