Here's a latex file that should do the trick.  
1) Save the text below out to "envelope.tex"
2) Type: latex envelope
3) Type: dvips envelope.dvi
It should come out on your default (hopefully postscript) printer.
A little scripting, and you could easily automate it for printing
envelopes from an address file.
