[CLUE-Tech] envelope printing?

[Mike]

There is a package for LaTeX called EnvLab for printing labels and
envelopes. It follows U.S Postal Service rules for printing barcodes and
address formatting along with numerous options. Search for it at at
http://www.ctan.org. Follow Todd's directions for running latex and
printing. Alternatively, you can run

$ dvips envelope.dvi -o

to create "envelope.ps" and then view before printing with

$ gv envelope.ps 

Good Luck!

Here's an example using the EnvLab package:

\documentclass[12pt]{letter}

\usepackage[businessenvelope]{envlab}
\makelabels

\begin{document}
\startlabels

\mlabel{
	Mike Gant\\
        160 E. 111th Pl\\
        Northglenn, CO 80233
        }
	{Joe Smith\\
        543 Elm St\\
        Anywhere, USA 12345
        }
\end{document}
