David,

Printing envelopes with writer in ubuntu is not that difficult. When you 
create your envelopes open a new page then select Format > Page then in 
the dropdown list beside Format select DL with orientation set to 
Landscape. Once you have entered the addresses etc, place the envelope(s) 
in printer according to the printers specification. 

If you use File > Print, you can select which envelope you want to print 
or all you have setup. There is also a dropdown menu where you see the 
name of your printer, if you have more than one printer configured you can 
select which printer you want to use.
