Hi Mark,

The frustrating thing is that I have no problems printing
from anything else.  I can print an envelope just fine
from Wine/Word Pro, which also uses CUPS.  Other programs,
portrait or landscape, print just as it is told.

Anyway, I opened up the following with Red Hat:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=977976

Maybe, someday, I will be able to print an envelope
through LO.

Thank you for your response.
