[texhax] Printing address on envelope

[Torsten Wagner]

Hi Sally,

If it is a one time thing... don't bother with it much
If you like to have it "pro"
take one of those address stickers (normally they come in a set aranged on a 
sheet, cut one out and leave some boarder space), 
Print the address (created by LaTeX or anything else) on a regular paper 
sheet,
Place the single sticker above the printed address on the sheet (without 
removing the rear-side film) and tape the boarders of the rear-side film with 
some scotch tape to the paper sheet (without taping the sticker itself),
Put the paper again in the printer (carefully check for the right side) and 
reprint,
Remove the sticker from the rear-side film, 
Place it on the envelope,
Enjoy and have a coffee.

That method will work fastetst for a single print.
Don't need to bother around with right margin settings, etc.

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.

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.

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.
