I have the HP LaserJet Pro MFP M479fdw printer and I can print a full sheet of Avery large (2") address labels with no problem, but I can't print on full sheet label paper where it's just one giant or 2  large (half sheet) labels (like you'd use for a UPS shipment).  I've tried changing the settings to glossy, matte, thin paper, thick paper- every single time it jams.  It will come out the finished about 2" and stop.  I open the back and the bottom half of the page is all crumpled.  I don't understand why one paper works and the other doesn't.  Please help!

The problem may be that once the label is removed, the area where the label was is much flimsier and slippery and feed rollers are likely slipping. Re-feeding labels is never recommended on LaserJet pritners because of the high risk of labels separating from the carrier sheet when fed the second time and wrapping around the fuser which then requires major disassembly of the printer to remove the label and hopefully not damaging the fuser.

To be clear, I'm not talking about reusing a label sheet, I'm talking about a full eight and a half by 11 sheet of paper that has two giant labels on it for shipping, those sheets will not feed through my printer.
