I mail-merged 12 pages of labels that won't print. The printer feeds the
paper or card stock but the pages are blank. The printer is working fine
(test page and a regular document from Word printed with no problem. These
are nametags with a small picture and limited text. I custom sized the label
instead of using one of the stock selections. The labels are all within the
margins. Thanks for any help.

Do the labels print when you feed regular paper into the printer?

If you use PrintPreview, do you see what you want to print?

If you click on Options in the FilePrint dialog, in the Printing options
section of the dialog, is the box checked against the item "Print drawings
created in Word"?

The labels do not print on regular paper.
The labels do not print in Print Preview.
FilePrintOptions The box "Print drawings created in Word" is checked.

I played around in options and clicking the "Print hidden text" box worked.
Thanks for the lead.

In that case, you need to edit your mail merge main document to clear the
Hidden property from the merge fields.

I had the same problem when printing labels with an image to the left of the
text. I tried what you did and it didn't work. It displays the text and image
on the preview but won't print it on regular paper. Haven't tried it on label
paper yet because I don't want to waste it if it won't work. Thoughts?
