Product / Printer Model: ?

Job type: Print glossy labels
Much depends on the printer model and the type of paper it supports.
In general, if a "glossy" label paper sheet does not dry,
The paper is perhaps essentially not compatible with the printer regardless of claims to the contrary.
The Quality might be set too high -- back off to no more than "Normal" quality. Where / How you set the print quality depends on the application / software you are using (and / or have available to adjust settings).
Sample - Adobe Reader - (Windows) - PDF Print - Label sheet
Check Properties > Paper / Quality > Quality Settings = Normal
The Tray and Paper type might be set incorrectly (EWS), though from your description, you have considered that possibility.
What else?
The paper is perhaps meant for a different printer type -- For example, paper meant for a Laser Print is not compatible with an InkJet Printer.
Paper that claims it is compatible with both Laser and InkJet might work or might not.

Ah - makes sense.
Thanks for getting back to us --
The new inkjet paper will likely do fine -- let us know if you need help.
"Back in the olden days"...
When I was a child, paper was paper.
"Labels" were hand written or typed on paper, cut out, and taped or glued to the envelope or box.
Copies were made on "mimeograph" paper using a hand-crank copier
Odd blueish copies with a strong ink smell.
Yes, that was an actual thing a very long time ago.
Printers have come a ways since then.
Smiling.
