Default Thermal name tags (labels)

I'm attempting to print name tags on a thermal label printer (Tharo). My
settings are set when I mail-merge, all the names show up. I can see all 250
when I "edit individual labels." However, when I print or print preview,
only the first two from each page print. The labels have "black mark"
capabilities and Word is set as such. The labels are on a continuous spool.
They are 4" x 3", so I have my page set as "custom."

Any suggestions to get every one to print? When I "print preview" it shows
one name and then 3 labels-worth of white space (and it's the three labels
following the one that actually prints that are missing).

See http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_lab...th_word_xp.htm or
http://www.gmayor.com/merge_labels_with_word_2007.htm . However Word is not
good with custom page sizes and will tend to adopt the nearest true size.
Tthe printer driver should determine what page sizes are allowed, though it
*may* be possible to define page sizes in the driver dialog.
