Re: HP2575 not printing labels correct?

I have experienced some strange problem with the HP 2575 all in one.

When printing docs or picts, all seems to be somehow normal.

But when it comes to printing labels, which is essintialy a table, it
is simply impossible to get the prinout right. The print preview of
the printer driver looks fine, but it starts printing stright from the
to of the paper, not laving any margin at all. The space between the
rows of lables is not equal, some rows are in fact printed over each
other, some have large space between them.

Tried on an old HP 880, there all looks as expected.


Is this problem known to the 2575 all in one ?



I've had the same problem with a deskjet 3845...The preview, or a print on plain paper is fine, but the label sheet has the printable area positioned differently, so the top and bottom of each label may spill onto the next. As far as I can tell this is due to the thicker stock, and possibly due to the slippery backing sheet. HP were not very helpful.
