I cannot seem to print correctly on Avery J8160 labels from Microsoft Access.
The spacing comes out all wrong ruining expensive labels.
Frustrated - you bet !

Apparently, it's not just Access that has a problem with those labels:

If that doesn't help, try rebuilding the label as a custom label. Take
careful measurements, then start the label wizard, click on the Custom
button and follow the dialogs to enter your dimensions.

What kinds of things have you tried so far to fix the problem?

What version of Access are you using?

You didn't indicate whether you are trying to print from a report (logical
assumption, but not specified). Is it a report that was set up using the
Label Wizard? If so, does the layout look correct in print preview, but
still print incorrectly?

You didn't indicate how the spacing is wrong, just that it is all off. Are
the page margins too big or too small? is there too much or too little
spacing between labels on sheets? Does the text on the label stretch too
far?

Have you adjusted font sizes, etc?

Give us some more detail and someone should be able to offer some help.
