Thank you for your response.   I purservered and finally (long wait on hold) got to speak with a Canon Tech.  This problem and quite a few others were resolved when I downloaded and updated the printer drivers that were released in September.
This printer was purchased new in July and I downloaded drivers then before ever receiving the printer. I was having issues with some text missing from one particular program I use to print checks on blank bank safety stock.  I tracked the problem further when I was able to discover that even when I printed to a PDF PRIOR to printing the PDF to the Canon, content that was in the PDF did not print.  At that point I was able to determine that the problem was the specific Canon printer (it printed fine on other printers).  This and the envelope problem were fixed with the new drivers.  Before the September drivers, the paper handling options for envelope handling were NOT available from the drop down box.  Now they are.

My wife and I share this printer.  She prints from her MacBook Pro  and iPhone wirelessly while I am on gigabit ethernet with the printer at arms length from my MacBook Pro.  This printer driver also solved the problem of the printer not awaking and reporting as being off-line.  I used a USB cable (starting about a week after getting this printer) and still had to manually hit the on-line button to print.  With this new printer driver, regardless of what and from where a print job is started, the job prints without the screen even changing from it's blacked out sleep mode.  It just does everything it was supposed to do without any hiccups.

I sure wish Canon would have notified registered owners of a new printer driver that fixed a myriad of problems that have been reported as complaints on their own forums.

Thank you   Joel
