I am using roxio 9 with a HP1600 printer
I am trying to print dics labels but they will not line up.
I have used WH Smith labels and some multi purpose labels.
I have tried to calibrate but that will not work.
I would like to use these labels up before buying the Avery recommended ones
can anyone help befor I shoot myself.

The trick I always used with generic labels was to print out to a plain sheet of paper and then align that with a used label sheet (you can see the print through the backing paper) and measure the offests and use those for the calibration

Hi gi7omy.
I have tried that but it is so out of line itn won't fit
the label prints out about 4mm to high and slightly to the right.

I have an HP Photosmart C5250 and it took me a couple of days to print a label.  I had to use the Express Labeler software that came with the printer.  I just right click on backgrounds and import the picture I want and then resize it by dragging the corners.  This worked for me. biggrin.gif
