Using Word 2016
Printing form letters and envelopes is a large part of my job. For years I've been able to go to the mailings tab, select envelopes, have the address extracted from the letter and print the envelope no problem. As of this week, every time I do this a blank sheet of paper prints out after the envelope. To clarify, there is not a blank page being added to my document, just a blank page being printed out after the correctly printed envelope. One proposed solution I've seen is to disable two-sided printing which I have done and it did not solve the problem.
Thanks in adavnce!
Update:
While I have not been able to solve the root problem of Microsoft printing an extra page when printing envelopes, I was able to change printer settings to stop the issue. In printer preferences (for my printer, under the detailed settings tab) I turned disable blank page print on. I want to clarify that this is not the cause of the problem, as I have had this setting off for years and never had this issue, but it does fix the problem :)

This is what I do, but all of sudden, now I have a blank page print out afterwards. I have tried all of the above to get rid of the blank page. So far nothing has worked.
I have fixed the issue! The fix for me was to go to Apps & Features in Windows Settings. I found "Microsoft 365...". Clicked on modify and repaired it with the "online" option. It no longer spits out a blank sheet after the envelope.
I did this exact same thing and it did not work for me, unfortunately.
Thank you for the information and suggestion!
I tried this and it did not work :-(
After online repair, it is still printing the extra page.
