It was one hell of an annoyance to try and get printouts to be what
they were supposed to be.
Dunno what to say, except that I've been printing envelopes from OpenOffice/LibreOffice for decades, using the same .odt file. I've used several printers along the way. All of them had an adjustable manual feeder that centered the paper stock in the feed slot, and my envelope.odt has been unchanged for years. All it is, is a landscape-oriented page with two text areas, where they would be if a single, standard page gets printed in landscape format. And it just so happens to print exactly over the envelope, when it's centered over the page.
I never had OpenOffice/LibreOffice do anything other than that.
Pretty much the same here. Except my printer doesn't have the ability to center the paper.
I use 2 text boxes, pick the paper size closest to the envelope (Taiwan uses non-standard sizes), portrait mode, and I
rotate the text boxes. Quite simple even though I don't print envelopes all that often.
