Problem printing labels
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. Im using Word 2003 SP2 to a Brother HL5140 |

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, karen " wrote: I have a strange problem printing labels in Word 03. When I print a blank page with random text, it prints fine.

Problem printing labels
Does the paper size in the printer match that of the labels that you are
using? That is A4 for A4 labels, Letter Size for Letter Size. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Problem printing labels
I realise this is late posting, but better late than never, I was
caught up in the whole problem. Yes, you were right, I had the main labels settup screen set to Manual, so no matter what I set the printer up in FilePrint, it selected Tray 1. Thanks to you both. |
