Yes, Qt has bad support for custom page sizes, which is always giving us trouble
with envelopes. (or even no support, in qt3)

Even in Qt4 it's not supported yet - at least not via public API (I recently found 
ways to use custom page sizes by setting some cups-related properties in the
QPrintEngine though, then it works).

For your problem, I think you might have more chances by creating a normal
A4 or Letter document, and creating a text frame at the location where the
envelope would be if it was aligned with the top-left corner of the A4 or Letter
page.
