printing labels; print preview fine but printer just formfeeds...
Using Microsoft Word MailMerge to print a bunch of labels. When I try to
print a page, it looks find in the "print preview" but when I actually try to print all I get is a form feed (blank sheet). Any ideas? |

Try printing the labels to plain paper. If that works OK, then it's a paper
(label) feed problem with the printer. Not an uncommon problem with some printers. -- Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the benefit of others who may be interested.

Problem is the same regardless of paper loaded into printer. It may have
something to do with selectively choosing the target recipients via the MailMerge wizard. In particular, if I print out the entire data file (several sheets of labels) then the hardcopy comes out as expected; it's whenever I try to "pick and choose" particular addresses that I get only a formfeed. I also tried to print out a regular MS Word file via the printer, that worked fine. So I don't think it's a printer problem, rather a problem with how I've set up the mail merge....
