I am trying to print file labels on Avery 5366 using the Avery label Template.  My printer is a Samsung M2020W.  I have gone into the printer properties and changed the paper type to labels.  Even after changing this, it is still starting the printing above each label.  I have searched and i cannot find what else i need to do in order to get the print to stay on the label it belongs on and stop it from using two labels when printing. Attached is a sample of what it does. As you can see where each label is and it is not printing on the label like it should.  I would really appreciate your help in this matter.  I have also attached a screen shot of my printer settings.print sampleprint sampleprint settingsprint settings

Are you using the Avery label software or printing from Word? From the looks of your sample you may need to adjust the top margin to be slightly larger so that the labels line up.  Setting the paper type to labels does nothing for alignment, that only affects the fuser temperature and speed of the printer to ensure proper bonding.
