I'm using Word XP and trying to print to a Samsung ML-1430 laser printer
using the Avery 5660 address label template. The labels appear to be set up
correctly, but will not print. When I attempt to print either the labels or
test sheets, the paper out indicator comes on.

If you change to a normal Word document, or copy the records into a normal
Word document, the addresses print (but only one page, and the margins, etc
are altered).

Has anyone else had this type of problem?

What about if you first execute the merge to a new document? Labels are
just tables with fixed cell dimensions and the printer will not be able to
tell the difference.

See the article "Mailmerge Labels with Word XP" on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's
