Help wanted with printing envelopes on a LaserWriter

I have a user who wants to print large quantities of envelopes on a
LaserWriter.  All attempts to date have failed because of innummerable paper
jams at the paper intake stage (in fact they are not real jams as the
envelope doesnt enter the printer).

The technician cant find anything wrong and the printer works fine for normal
A4 printing.  The staff at Apple say they use the LaserWriter for envelopes
all the time -- no problem -- so why the jams.  At my suggestion, the user
bought better quality envelopes, but there was no perceptable improvement
in printer performance.

Can anyone suggest what is wrong?
