Here's yet another tip from the 'Net :-)

I have an elderly HP 4240n laser printer.  If I pull down the 'door' on the front, there's a place with guides where I can put an envelope.

A long time ago, I used the the Page program on a Mac -- it had no problem doing envelopes.  I can't find a civilized way to do them on LO.

So I use LO's Draw, set for a full sheet of paper (8.5 * 11 US letter -- don't remember what it's called).  I measured the envelope, created a long rectangle of that size, centered in the upper area of the page, put some text blocks in it for To and From, wrote in the blocks, and rotated them.  There was some futzing to position the envelope rectangle in the right place (IIRC, margins also need some modification), but with the rest of the page empty, Draw prints perfect envelopes.  It's a mild pain, but it beats writing.  And I had to do it only once.
