Mac OS X 10.4: Address Book unexpectedly quits when printing on an envelope

When you use Address Book in Mac OS X 10.4 to print an envelope (by choosing Envelopes from the Style pop-up menu in the Print dialog), you may come across a situation where nothing happens after you click the Print button. If you try printing a second time, Address Book unexpectedly quits.

This happens if your own Address Book card doesn't include a postal address (Address Book prints this information as a return address on the envelope). To add a postal address to your card:

1. Open Address Book.
2. From the Card menu, choose Go to My Card.
   
   Note: Go to My Card works only if you have a card for yourself. If you have not: Choose New Card from the File menu, enter your name in the First and Last fields, then choose Make This My Card from the Card menu.
    
3. Click the Edit button at the bottom of the window.
4. Enter a postal address in the fields next to an address label.
5. From the File menu, choose Save (or press Command-S).

You should now be able to print out an envelope. If you prefer not to have your address printed as the return address on the envelope, do this:

1. In Address Book, choose Print from the File menu.
2. In the Print dialog, choose Envelopes from the Style pop-up menu.
3. Click the Label tab.
4. Deselect the "Print my address" checkbox.
5. Click Print.
