[texhax] Printing address on envelope

[when harry met sally]

It's just a one-time thing. I wanted to print the address on the envelope to make it look more professional, but I don' think I can put an envelope in the printer. I think writing the address by hand is the simplest solution for a one time thing.

Thanks for the answers,
Sally

Request for clarification: is this something you would do one time, with one envelope? Or are you looking for a procedure for bulk mailing (that is, you'll be sending many envelopes, each having a different address)? In either case, I'm not convinced LaTeX is the appropriate solution. It might be easier/more efficient to use an awk or perl script to generate the ps files to be printed on the envelope, but of course LaTeX will also do the job. The only thing to do is choose your paper size appropriately (based on the envelope size) and place the address correctly on the page. Other people certainly have more experience with the latter task than do I.


Cheers,
Bob Wilson

Hi,

I have an already-folded envelope with my work address on it. I want to print the address of the addressee on the envelope. Is that possible? I guess my question is more a printing question than a latex question, though I would need a latex file to create the ps file to be printed on the envelope. I am on a linux machine.


Thanks,
Sally
