I'm doing mail merge with an Excel spreadsheet.
Every time I try to print, my printer runs like it's checking for paper and
then says it's out of paper. I've tried doing it with plain paper instead of
labels in the printer, and it does the same thing.
But it will print anything and everything else.
I've also tried doing the merge over again. I've tried saving the merged
data in another document and printing it from there.
Nothing is working. Please help.

Is your printer trying to draw paper from a different paper source than
usual (e.g. a manual feed)? With either the Mail Merge Main Document (label
layout) document open or the output document open and have a look at the
Paper source options in File|Page Setup|Paper

It was the usual paper source, but after reading your suggestions, I then
tried with all the other choices (tray 1, printer select, etc.). Nothing
worked.

Sorry, no fresh ideas here. But which version of Word, and which printer?

Merge to a new document and print that.
