A very small number of laser printers do that, the vast majority do not do

provided the user sets the driver up correctly.


Tony-

My problem is envelopes being sealed by the laser printer.

Envelopes printed on an old HP LJ 2605dn would stick, but the flaps
could easily be loosened.

Envelopes printed on a newer HP LJ Pro M451DN stick fairly tight. The
flaps can usually be pried open, but the envelope gets wrinkled and
sometimes it pulls up the surface of the paper.

I am printing from a Macintosh with the latest system. I looked through
settings in the printer's web server, but did not see anything that
might affect temperature.

Do you know of another way to adjust temperature? I am worried that it
might prevent toner from sticking to the paper if it was lowered too
much.

This is another problem with laser printers that we don't have with ink jet.

It is not a problem, it is improper use. Ink printers have their issues.
