Hi,

I'm printing labels on Avery Standard address label paper (L7560 3x7)

When I print, the labels are not matching correctly. Each row gets
progressively too high. Then there is a large blank space at the bottom. The
Print Preview doesnt show this white space as much, it looks correct.

Could this be a printer driver issue? As I've used this before on this exact
paper and it fits fine....

As an extra bit of info, when I print footers they are a lot higher on
print-outs than they are in Print Preview.

Thanks
Ben

It is more like a scaling issue - check the print properties to ensure that
page layout and print options paper match for size and that there is no
scaling.

Fair play. The Word document was set to A4, but the printer properties was
set to Letter.

Thanks

I'm having the same problem-my labels printed fine last week. All of a sudden, like Ben said, they progressively bump up. I have followed the fix suggested above, but it still does it, and also, on the right margin of the first page, half of the last character is cut off. Only on the first page, the rest of the left-right margins seem OK. This also happend in programs that are not Word.
