The 1.0.5 update of EasyEnvelopes doesn’t carry much in the way of new stuff. However, it still stands apart as my favorite Dashboard Widget of all time. I still shockingly print a number of envelopes. Rather than continually write out addresses, this nifty little widget fills it out for me. I can look addresses up from the Address Book or type them in.
Once filled out, you click the little printer stamp icon. It even does the dirty work of reconfiguring your printer settings so things get printed in the right places. Address codes even get included in the end result. I remember what a pain this used to be in the OS 9 days and this is a huge time saver.
I’m not sure if it’s new, but if you click on the area to the left of the stamp, you get a miniaturized version of it for saving space. That’s definitely key for smaller laptop users.
