The problem is not the printer driver.  Envelopes used to print
correctly for me in an earlier version of OpenOffice.  Something
happened in either openOffice 3.2 or LibreOffice 3.3 that is causing
the printing issue with envelopes.

Note that, as I mentioned, documents printed on letter-size paper all
print without a problem.  I just see this issue when I try to print on
envelopes (though I've not tried printing labels, so I cannot comment
on whther label printing works).
