I developed an Access data base for a friend which included a couple of label
reports, and I then installed it on their PC. We both have the MS Office
2003. Data input, reports and everything is working well, except that when
they print their labels, the printer spacing is not exactly the same as mine
and consequently, their labels are not printed within the label space about
halfway through the page. Where should I start looking to correct their
printer spacing problem??? Thanks for any help you may have for me.

Look at the printer. It's paper feed mechanism probably can't handle the
label sheets properly. You can confirm this my printing to a sheet of plain
paper and compare the results.

It could be poor label handling by the printer, which afflicts some inkjets,
but the likely explanation is that on the rogue PC there is a disparity
between the document and printer page sizes and/or a print zoom setting has
been applied.
