I cannot seem to print my mailmerge labels as they appear on screen. I have
done this many times before but the only thing different is that I have a new
printer. Cannon IP 5000. I have tried everythig I can think of.

It's probably a "paper-feed" problem with the printer. If you print the
labels to plain paper, do they come out OK. Many low cost printers have
problems with properly feeding label stock.

Hope this helps.

But, IF they print OK on plain paper, then it IS a problem with the
printer's feeding of labels. Word does not know what media is being fed to
the printer, so there is nothing different that it would be doing.
