In addition to all the indicators provided in thread:
https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printing-Errors-or-Lights-Stuck-Print-Jobs/label-printing/m-p/8172746
Answer in that thread: Export to PDF and print the PDF file.
Add these checkpoints:
Trouble with labels and possibly with other documents that include mixed content types:
Document Scale
There is a setting in Word that will "scale" a document for Letter / A4 paper.
If you are having alignment issues with your document (for example, labels), UNCHECK this setting.
When printing directly from within Word
Setup:
Word > File > Options > Advanced
In Section Print (about 2/3 of the way down)
UNCHECK "Scale content for A4 or 8.5 x 11" paper sizes
Click OK to save changes
Control Panel > icon view > Devices and Printers
Right-Click Printer > Printing Preferences > Tab Advanced
UNCHECK HP Real Life Technologies
Click OK to save change
