what could cause a hp all-in-one printer to smear when printing a picture using address label backing but doesn't smear when using regular printer paper, I've always used the same address label backing ever since I had this printer never had anything like this happen

Are you printing on areas of a label sheet with labels already removed? If yes, that backing is slippery and the ink will not adhere to it and come off. If reusing label sheets, the best advice is to start printing at the bottom of the sheet and work up intead of working down the sheet.
