Welcome to the HP Community --

This printer series requires a larger margin along the bottom edge (1/2 inch)

There is no "workaround" -- the limitation is built into the hardware.

Reminder

When / if you change the paper size / paper type in your print job, for example, from plain paper to brochure paper, be sure to change the defaulted paper size / type in the Embedded Web Server (EWS) > Tray and Paper

EWS > HP Document / How-to

Use the HP printer Embedded Web Server (EWS)

EWS – Browser – Tray and Paper Management

Open your Browser > Type / enter the Printer IP address into URL / Address bar

Tab Settings > Preferences > Tray and Paper (Management)

Select / Adjust settings for Paper Size / Type

Model Dependent:  Advanced section

Click Apply to save changes

=============================================================

Will it work?

Maybe...

If you label paper includes a large enough bottom margin, the label template might print.

Best test on plain paper for alignment of the content.

If that works, try printing on a sheet of label paper.
