The printer will not print unless the labels are placed all the way to the

printer out of paper.

I suspect you'll need to feed the labels in the center, which is where the
printer evidently expects to find them.

I am trying to mail merge and print address labels. I am using Word 2003
and an HP 2100 series ink jet printer. I set up all the stats for my
labels but when they print they print in the middle of the printer as
though
I were using letter sized paper (8 1/2 x 11)
My lables are 4.5 x 2.5 and they are an Avery address label which I set
as
my label. No matter what I try, the labels still print in the middle of
the
printer (or page) and not on the label.
Can anyone help??

You have to be using the wrong sized sheets for the template..

I have used these same sheets for 2 years but this time they just aren't
working. They have worked in the past but was doing a xmas address list with
the same database and labels but this time it just won't work. I might have
added some patch from Microsoft 2 yrs ago for this problem but don't
remember. I thought maybe the automatic updates knocked the function of the
patch out of whack. Just can't figure it out.

Are you sure that you are using the correct template?.. and does your Avery
sheet number start with the #2?

No it starts with 4 and it is the same template I have always used. I think
I am going to buy some software specifically for label printing and see what
happens.

No need to buy..

Avery supply a version of Avery DesignPro (not a huge amount of graphics and
fonts supplied) for free on their website..

Word 2003 does not list any Avery laser/inkjet labels with stock numbers
beginning with 4. Perhaps your labels are intended for a typewriter? If the
labels are a single-column, then chances are they're a "mini" sheet, and you
should be looking for a label definition containing that term. But I don't
see any that are 2.5" x 4.5".

Where I do see label stock numbers beginning with 4 is in the "Dot matrix"
category, though I still don't see any the size you mention.

There is in Works for injet 4013 which I have used for the last 2 years
without a problem. This is the first year I am experiencing this problem.
In fact I usually made my own return labels with no problem but again I sat
down the other night to do my xmas list and almost went crazy. I might have
downloaded a patch for this label I don't remember.

The only Avery labels that I have come across with the prefix #4 are for dot
