Printing Labels on HP OfficeJet 6950

[Zagdogg007]

Greetings. I recently bought an HP OfficeJet 6950 and I am trying to print labels using it. The labels I have are Avery 18126 which can use Avery template 5126. They are 5 1/2" by 8 1/2" and there are 2 labels per sheet. I cannot find a setting in paper size to make this template work. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Welcome to HP Forums. This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips.

I have gone through your Post and would like to help

I suggest you create a Custom Size Paper and try printing.

Create a custom paper size directly from the printer properties menu.

1. Load the custom-size paper into the paper input tray.

2. Open the item you want to print.

3. Click File, and then click Print.

4. In the Print window, click Preferences, Properties, or Printer Properties.

5. Click the Paper/Quality tab, and then click Custom.

      NOTE:

   If you do not see a Custom button on the Paper/Quality tab of the printer properties window, skip to the section to Create custom paper sizes from Devices and Printers.

   

6. In the Custom Paper Size window, click New.

7. Type a name for your custom paper size, adjust the width and height to your preference, and then click OK.

      NOTE: To change the dimensions to metric, click Millimeters.

   Your custom paper size is now saved. You can select this custom paper size in the future and edit it if needed.

8. Click OK, click the Paper Size drop-down menu, and then scroll down and select your custom paper size.

   

9. Make any other preference changes if necessary, and then click OK.

      NOTE:Supported paper sizes vary by printer. If you input custom dimensions that your printer does not support, the new custom paper size does not display when you attempt to print. 

10. Click OK or Print to print the document.

Kazy Toad, 

   When I enter printer properties, there is nothing that says "custom..." like the screen shot that you posted. I have searched all over the HP printer properties for a button like this. Perhaps you are using an older model. 

Here is what it looks like for me:
