Default Problem printing labels

I have no experience troubleshooting/answering on this board, etc. but I was
just taking a look at the "unaswered posts" to see if there was a trend
(since no one was able to help me with mine yesterday), and came upon yours.

Since no one has offered a suggestion, here's a stab in the dark...

Do you have your paper set for "Manual" for labels? (I do this since I
share a printer and don't want my colleagues' stuff to queue and print when I
have my labels in the machine.) You can check under Print Properties
Paper Source Is make sure Source Is Automatic Select (not Manual).

This is for Word2000, but you can probably figure out where to go if it's
different for W2003. Hope this helps!

cheers,

I have a strange problem printing labels in Word 03. When I print a
blank page with random text, it prints fine. However when I then ask it
to print a label;

ToolsLetters and MailingsEnvelopes and LabelsNew Document

It displays the labels fine onscreen, but when I come to print, the
printer lights just flash. The computer doesn't detect a problem, and
some other computers on the network are able to print label sheets to
this same printer without error.

I consider this problem to be within my Word settings, however through
looking at my print settings, I can't see a problem.

Any help would be appreciated.
