Envelopes won't print.

 I have Microsoft 8.1 and an HP Office Jet Pro 8600 Plus.  I type letters with Word and Initially could print envelopes using the "mailings" feature.  After a few weeks, envelopes would only print intermittently.  Now envelopes won't print at all.

I've tried many suggestions from people on various sites.  I ran a piece of plain paper through to see if I had the envelope in the wrong place.  No print anyplace on the paper.  We re-installed the printer drivers, and that didn't help. 

This is not a problem of the printer not getting the message to print; it picks it up and runs it through, but out comes an envelope or a paper with no print, even though the preview pane shows that there will be an address and a return address.

Answer

Try changing the colour of the font used for the Envelope from the present colour (Black of Automatic) to another colour.
