When I print labels, one page will print, the printer will suspend and I must
intervene (in the case of the Brother 1440 HL hit the start button) to print
another sheet. If you're doing 1000 labels on 30 label sheets, you have to
sit and press the start button 34 times to get the job completed. How can I
get multiple pages of labels to print without manual intervention? It has to
be syntax codes from word as it only occurs with labels and the printer
doesn't know what's coming to it other than the codes in the data stream.

My guess is that your printer driver is expecting a label document to print
with manual feed. Change the setting in the merge document > page setup >
paper dialog.
