I have a BJC 3000 and i have attempted to print C4 envelopes. Even
though the paper slides will accomodate a C4 it fails to feed into
the printer.Is this a limitation of the printer as it seems the largest
size it will print is A4.Even tried setting the page size as A4 but it
still will not feed through the printers. Appreciate comments or help
Thanks

Generally inkjets of this type do not physically care what size the paper is or
whether it is an envelope or not. All that is done in the driver.
Have you set the paper thickness lever to heavy paper (down I think)? If you
have and it will not feed, the paper feed rollers may be worn.
The rollers can be cleaned with a soft cloth dampened with Windex or similar
but are a little hard to get at with the cover in place. Give it try, nothing
to lose.
You can also try feeding a piece of heavy paper or light card slightly dampened
with Windex, and then a few more fresh pieces to follow but be sure they are
only very lightly damp or they may fall apart and jam in the priner. try to
limit the dampness on the card ton the paper feed roller area on the card, you
can see the roller if you look into the paper feed area.
