Inability to print labels
In Word XP, I'm trying to print address labels (Avery 5660 layout) on a
Samsung ML-1430 laser printer. When I attempt to print, it fails to recognize that there is either paper (for a test print) or the labels themselves in the printer. I keep getting the paper out indicator. When we did a test cut & paste of the mail merged fields into a blank document (which offset the records), this document printed. This indicates to me that there may be a problem with the printer recognizing the size of the sheet of labels. However, in the label options, the size is correct. Do you have any tips to fix the options so that I can print? Thank you. |

Inability to print labels
Labels are just tables with fixed cell dimensions. I do not think that
there is any information being sent by Word to the printer that would tell it that what was to be printed was any different from anything else that you might print on 8.5 x 11 paper. If you are creating the labels by mailmerge, what happens if you execute the merge to a new document and then print that. Or if you are creating labels by using the Envelopes and Labels dialog, what happens if you use the "New Document" button in that dialog and then print that document. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Does your printer have a separate manual paper feed path? From the
envelope/labels tool options, change the tray allocation from manual to the tray with your label sheets. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Becki wrote: In Word XP, I'm trying to print address labels (Avery 5660 layout) on a Samsung ML-1430 laser printer.
