The printer is known for it's inability to print labels correctly .

I have tried many ways to print labels successfully. HP says there is no solution.

I really just need to know if anyone uses a printer that prints return address labels and regular size address labels correctly.

Thinking of purchasing just an inexpensive printer (no copier, scanner, fax) but need recommendations for one that has proven it will print labels.

Thanks, everyone

I just use Word to print labels of all kinds. It can import from Excel which makes our Christmas card address labels a breeze. I have used it with a variety of printers and never had a problem. I most recently had an old Epson, basic printer - no other frills - and that was fine.

I'm glad to hear this - I thought it was just my printer. I missed the fact that the OP has a 1350. I have one too and it simply refuses to print labels correctly - prints them fine on a sheet of plain paper but moves the margin on a sheet of labels.

Sounds like it's a "lemon". Does your state have a "lemon law"?

I to use word to print full sheet labels with a old canon i560. Printed up 2 1/2 sheets a few days ago with no problem.

The Dymo label printers are really nice and a good deal. If you want to print large numbers of labels though, I would recommend a cheaper laser printer. Get a Samsung or Minolta or even a small laser. That way the ink lasts longer and you'll really appreciate the speed difference.
