I use very often the Apaches OpenOffice 4.1.7 (version ATM) to print
envelopes. then as suggested I use the manual tray of the HP 420dn which I
have here to print it. It works OOB. Here is the process
1. select the page size Menu -> Format -> Page (Page Format -> Format #10)
2. Write the address
3. Set the manual tray (1) on the 420dn and insert the envelope
4. Print
What you describe looks like issue with margins and why are you trying
OpenOffice 3.3?! Even my version is already outdated
