We are trying to print labels for addresses that are in Excel. We do the
setup and the labels look OK on preview, but when they print, they are at the
very top of the label and subsequent labels begin printing at the bottom of
the one above it instead of on a new label. How can we lower these labels?

Try printing the labels onto a plain sheet of paper and see how they then
align with the label sheet. There is a common problem with many printers
not being able to accurately feed the label stock that can cause the type of
mis-alignment that you mention.
