Labels are just tables in which the cells have fixed dimensions. As a
result, the printer should not know the difference as far as what it is
receiving from Word is concerned. Can you print a document of labels to
plain paper? If so, the error may be caused by a problem with the paper
handling of the printer when it is being fed labels.
