Try printing it on a regular sheet of paper, and seeing where your
printer driver thinks an envelope is. It may not necessarily be where
your printer feed is. You might need to change a setting in your
printer driver (right click on printer in the print dialog and choose
properties) to tell it that you're feeding it Envelope 10, as well.

It's doable, but sometimes the printer drivers are strange. I have a
printer with the envelope feed centered, and that driver for some reason
doesn't want to print an envelope there. Go figure.
