Hi! @Farmer1610, Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues, with help from the community.

 

Don't worry I'll try to help you out. Please answer a few questions below to assist you better.

 

Did you make any changes to your printer?

 

Have you tried checking on a different brand paper?

 

What is the paper size you are using to print the labels?

 

Have you checked the label layout settings against your label page?

 

Let's continue with the troubleshooting steps now.

 

To print labels, use pre-formatted templates or the mailings feature in Microsoft Word, or use solutions from a label manufacturer.

  • HP Photo Creations: This free software installs with many HP printer driver packages, or can be downloaded for free at HP Photo Creations Printing Software (in English). Search Windows for "photo creations", and then click HP Photo Creations in the results. In the top menu bar, click Business, and then click Address Labels.

  • Microsoft Word Mailings tools: In the top menu bar, click Mailings, and then click Labels.

    In the Envelopes and Labels window, click Options, select your label brand from the Label vendors menu, select the Product number, and then click OK.

    NOTE: 

    To learn more about printing labels with the Mail Merge feature, go to Microsoft Office: Create and print labels using mail merge (in English).

    Figure : Select Labels in the Microsoft Word Mailings menu

    Select Labels in the Microsoft Word Mailings menu
  • Microsoft Word pre-formatted label templates: In Word, click File, click New, and then search for a label template.

  • Label vendor templates: Label companies such as Avery (in English) provide online tools and templates to print their labels for a cost. Check the label company's website for information and options.

You can download the templates from Avery website to print labels. Click Here
