We've still got an entire generation or 2 of people who have not grown up with computers and all of the associated lingo. The problem getting instructions from someone who is really good with computers is those people think a lot of things are obvious that are not at all obvious to those who may not be as good. If anyone else can see this exchange because they are having the same problem as I have been having, perhaps I can help you print on your cd's. Thanks for your help but we were able to figure it out tonight on our own.

Yes I read the manual and went through all those steps but those instructions are vague at best. Any idea why I get that message or what template I should choose to print directly onto a CD? The logical one to me would be 'Print on CD/DVD (5 inch/120mm) but when I choose it I get the message 'The currently selected printer does not support direct printing to a CD or DVD'. I'm supposed to choose a template at the top but I don't know which template I'm supposed to use because the program doesn't give any guidance. As far as the software I'm using to print to a cd, it's HP Photosmart Create. I tried what you suggested and it did print one. I put in #10 envelope there but it would never print one. Typically I've just had to click on Envelopes under Tools and make all my changes there. 7 Click on Two-Sided in drop-down menu, then select Off. 6 Click on the drop-down menu and select Layout. 4 Select the correct Envelope size and Orientation, then click OK.

I haven't however used Word very long for Mac. 2 Open Microsoft ( MS) word for MAC and highlight the return address, then click Tools > Envelopes. I've used Word for years and never had to do that. I'd love to hear from anybody who might have some answers. After hit print icon, says on screen 2 pages to print but I only want envelope to. HP has made that the case with the not so cheap equipment as well. When you make a selection, the Word document on-screen changes to that. I learned long ago that when you buy cheap equipment you get bad instructions. Trying to figure things out on this printer is as bad as buying any cheap piece of electronic equipment.

The only thing this printer seems to be able to do fairly easily is print on a normal piece of paper. I have downloaded all software updates offered.

Got to wonder why they advertise that it does if that's the message I'm going to get. (I keep getting the message that the printer chosen, which is the HP C309a does not print directly to CD's/DVD's). Same issue printing to printable CD's as well and everything I try is to no avail there as well. I've been trying for more than 4 hours at this writing so am about ready to take this printer back to Costco. Nothing I try works for printing envelopes on this printer using my Mac (Snow Leopard).
