Printing Dialog box hangs - Version: 1.0.8, 11/22/2009 12:26PM PST

Easy Envelope is advertised as OS 10.6 compatible. However, the print dialog box hangs and requires a log out. I contacted Ambrosia Software and received *We're aware of this issue happening to a few people. At this time there's no workaround or update in the wing* as a reply. If you have a workaround, please post.

Printing Dialog box hangs

Glad to have you back, but.... - Version: 1.0.8, 10/8/2009 07:45AM PST

EE was one of my absolute favorite Desk Accessories back in the pre-OSX days. I used it on everything from a SE30 on up until OSX forced it into obsolesence. It absolutely civilized the overlooked job of printing envelopes. So I was delighted to see it back in a OSX compatible format.

But when I started using it, I was amazed to see that the same inexplicable limitations that had irritated me in the DA version exist unchanged in the widget! You are still very limited in how many return addresses you can have, and there is no way to find tune where on the envelope the address gets printed that I can find. This would not be a problem except that EE often spaces it oddly - not enough to make it unusable, but enough to make the envelope look a bit less than professional.

I also wish it didn't use the klunky and rigid Apple Address Book, which I find has a real problem with lengthy addresses, but I guess they didn't really have any choice there.

But then what do you want for nothing? If you accept its minor limitations, it is a very slick and useful program, and its widget nature makes it very fast and easy to use.

I have used Addressix for several years. I am currently using 1.4.9. It is an application which continues to work and which both remembers previously used addresses and preloads Address Book data, and which includes FIM / the Facing Identification Mark, if that is important to you.
