Print Labels in Address Book - 'portrait/landscape' option?

I need to print labels "sideways" due to custom label loading in my printer.
I have tried setting up a custom label layout in Address Book. However, it consistently prints the labels such that the text is horizontal to the printer feed. I need it to print the text vertical to the printer feed, basically rotated 90º.
If I wanted to rotate text printed from Pages or Word I would switch from portrait to landscape or vice-versa. Is there no way to do this in Address Book? Am I overlooking one of the custom settings? Thank you!

Great news so far, thanks!
A possible workaround for adding text...

To add a pic/logo to the left side of each label, click on the Label tab, look for image and set..., it will resize it to fit automatcally...

Printing labels from Address Book

Hi there,
I have tried to print labels from Address Book using the provided template within the application.
The probem however, is that if I want to print a number of labels, say for myself, I can not seem to specify how may labels to print with a selected address.
As well, if I print one label from the application, I do not see a way to tell the printer or the application to use the next field of the label sheets.
Am I missing something completly obvious or is it an oversight in the Application?
Thanks in advance

Jim,
I think I understand your question. Hopefully this will help you with at least one of your problems. In order to print out address labels for just your name and address, you'll have to duplicate your personal address card several times. I duplicated mine 29 more times so that I could print out 30 sticky labels. Here's what I'd suggest:
1. Create a new group in the far left side of your Address Book window by clicking once on the "+" button found at the bottom of the Group column, and then title your new group something like "My Return Labels."
2. Locate your main personal card in the "All" group, and then slide it (or add it) to your newly created group.
3. Highlight your card from within your new "My Return Labels" group, copy and paste it about 29 times.
4. Once done, make sure you have just your "My Return Labels" group highlighted, then go to your Print command.
5. Choose the proper label style, and print away.
Good luck, Grampa Doodie.

Missing field when printing labels with Address Book

I am would like to print the labels for my clients Christmas Cards, using AddressBook. When doing print > label, I get all their names and addresses on the labal formt that I want but the company name is missing. How do I get AddressBook to include the field "company" into the label ?
Thanks for help.

If you need to include the company's and individual's name, here's a work-around:
1) for each such card, you put the individual's name and leave the Company field empty.
2) Put the company name in the field for "Street"
3) Put the street address, including Apt. # in the field for "City"
4) Now, put the City, State, and Postal Code all in one field: the field for "Country".
5) save the card.
When printing labels, proceed as follows:
1) Print>File>choose your Avery label under "Layout" and then click "Label."
2) Here, you make sure to check the box so it will "Print country." Don't forget this step, or the whole plan is a failure.
This works, but it only works if the card is in-putted as described above. It won't work if your cards are already set-up with the "company" field and the "name" field.

Printing Mailing Labels from Address Book

Stupid question, but one that is driving me crazy.
How do you print a sheet of mailing labels from Address Book but when the entire sheet of labels is the SAME label?
I can print labels successfully in address book, can select the label type and number, etc.
However, when I select a single contact, I can't find a way to print up an entire sheet of labels (e.g. 14) of all the same contact - it only prints one label of the single contact.
Please help! I know it must be a simple fix but can't find it anywhere to select as an option.

OK, weird that this morning (one day after you posted this question) I had the same question. I just want to print some return address labels for my own company. While I haven't been able to find a software based way to do it, I did think up a workable (if a bit ridiculous) hack. Copy the address you want to fill the sheet of labels with however many times there are labels on the sheet and select those however many copies and click print! I created 30 copies of my own company's address in Address Book, selected them, and printed a sheet of labels without problem. A bit dumb, but it works!
Hope that helps.

How to Print on either Avery 8160 or 8250 labels from Address book

Hey all,
I'm trying to do Christmas Address Labels and I have my addresses in Address Book, and I have Avery Labels 8160 or 8250 (3 rows of 10, can't tell the difference between the two).
I've created a group in Address Book that has all of the people who I want to send cards to.
I highlight all of them go to Print, then change to labels, but Address Book shows only a 2 columns of 12. How do I change this to 3 columns of 10?
If I can't do this from address book. I do have the new version of MS Office for Mac, but It's label wizard isn't very easy to use, I either get a whole bunch of junk, or one sheet of the same address.
Any help would be nice since Christmas is the end of the week.

If I only looked a bit further. There is a "layout" option once you open up the print dialogue. Thats where you select the correct type of avery label.

How do I get the "auto portrait/landscape" option to show during printing in Adobe Reader Touch

When I print using Adobe Reader Touch, the "auto portrait/landscape" options does not show up. As a result, all pages in a document are printed in the same orientation even if they are not all of the same orientation in the file itself. I don't believe this is a printer issue because if I use Adobe Reader X (v. 10.1.6) on the same computer/printer, the auto option does show up and the documents print as desired. I use Windows 8. As the video quality of Adobe Reader X is extremely blurry in Windows 8, I would like to be able to use Adobe Reader Touch exclusively. How do I get the latter to give me the "auto portrait/landscape" option during printing?
Thank you,
Pelle

Hello Pelle,
Thanks for the feedback. Our printing code in Adobe Reader Touch doesn't have that capability right now, but since you mention it we should probably do what you're requesting by default. I'll put that into our backlog for a future update, but I can't say yet when it will be available.
In the interim, if you have pages that are different orientations, you can print them in blocks manually to get what you want, but I understand that's a hassle.

How do I print a page of return labels in Address Book?

How do I print a page of return labels in Address Book?

Okay, it's a bit of hack, but standby..
Setup your address (that you want printed) in contacts app
Copy that address
Paste 30 times (or however many labels you have per page)
Select those 30 duplicate entries, and go to print
Viola! (When you are done you can delete the excess entries)

Printing address labels via Address Book - last and first names mixed up

Trying to print mailing labels from Address Book. However in my list of 50 contacts, some labels are printed with the first name then last name, and others are printed with the last name then first name. It doesn't seem to matter if I switch the order of how it appears for each contact within address book, or set the Preferences in Address Book to have the first before the last name, some labels will still be printed with the last name first.
Any suggestions???

Something which worked for me was after adjusting the order of the first and last name (either using Preferences) or manually, I saved it, and then it seemed to print fine after that. So maybe saving it first before printing was the key.

How do I print envelopes using Address Book?

I am having trouble getting envelopes to print properly from Address Book in Lion. I have specified size #10 envelpes. When I print them, the text printed on successive envelopes moves further and further down the page until the address drops off of one envelop and is then printed at the top of the next envelope. If I print to PDF, I see the same behavior. I have an HP OfficeJet 7600 printer.
Also, when I switched to size #9 envelopes without making any other changes, the envelopes were printed as though I had switched from portrait to landscape.
Can anyone tell me how to fix these problems? I am so disappointed because what looked like a really quick and easy way to print envelopes has now taken hours and I only have 3 remotely satisfactory envelopes printed and no hope of getting more other then to do them one by one.

I have a similar problem too. I might be mistaken, but I think it creeped in when I "upgraded" to Lion and the foobarred the addressbook and who knows what else. It used to work just fine.
I have had luck printing envelopes with the Ambrosia widget. Very nice and free, Give it a try.

Preview not working for labels in Address Book

I was playing around with printing Avery labels using Address Book and noticed that the preview window on the left doesn't refresh any changes (such as changing label size) or doesn't zoom in or out when using the scroll bar below it. It then unexpectedly quits occasionally. Also, whenever I save the print settings under a new name and try to recall it later on, it doesn't recall the last saved settings (such as label #). Anyone else have this issue?

I've just noticed the exact same symptoms on my Mac as well. The app crashed 3 times while trying to format and print Avery 5160 labels. And the Preview pane is pathetic....it doesn't update the view until toggling the layout dropdown. Zoom....? What zoom....???
I may end up going to the Avery website and see if I can format and print my return address labels online there.

Windows 10 Has no automatic Portrait / Landscape option

My brokerage statement has the first two pages in Portrait and the remaining pages in Landscape. I print the monthly statement double-sided. Earlier Windows versions: Windows XP and Windows 8 printed the statement on an HP 3522 correctly. Windows 10 only prints a document, as selected, in Portrait or Landscape. I am currently working around this problem by printing the first two pages, double-sided, in Portrait. Then printing the remaining pages, double-sided, in Landscape. Hopefully, Microsoft will correct this limitation.

Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I see that your Windows 10 Has no automatic Portrait / Landscape option, for your HP Deskjet 3522. I am happy to help! Perhaps, their is a driver conflict with an older driver. I would recommend to try our HP Print and Scan Doctor first to see if it can detect any errors. If not, the following steps may help restore that functionality: Uninstall the software. Uninstalling the Printer Software.Clean boot the computer. How to perform a clean boot in Windows.Disable any Antivirus programs. Disable Antivirus software.Disable any firewall programs. Windows Firewall from start to finish.Create a new user account. Managing User Accounts and Logins (Windows 8).Reinstall using the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows. (These steps will work on Windows 10.) Hope this helps! “Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.”

What is the best way to make a list of addresses for envelopes or labels? Address book, numbers or pages?

What is the best way to make a list of addresses for envelopes and labels? Address book, Pages or Numbers?

I liek your idea of having multiple images in a grid. I think
that would be the best bet as you mentioned. Having one big picture
would be hard to distinguish the sub-areas with mouse coordinates.
I think checking the coordinates for the mouse would be very
tedious because I would have to check for the left boundary, the
right, top, and bottom for each sub-area!
What do you mean by using button components and reskinning.
Is this simply using buttons and changing the way they look? I'm
just trying to save time and memory, because if I had a 10 by 10
grid, thats a hundred buttons. Wouldn't that slow down the machine
alot? And for that matter wouldn't having a grid of 10 by 10 images
also by the same deal?
Thanks for the input, I'm just trying to find the most
efficient way to do it.

Problem Adding Custom Labels to Address Book

I add custom labels to the Template in Address Book Preferences. There's no problem at this stage, the custom labels appear along with the preset labels in the Template. But when I leave Preferences, go back to Address Book and add a new card, the custom labels disappear.
What am I doing wrong?
Any help would be appreciated. And thank you in advance.

Barney-15E: Thanks for your previous reply!
Would you check this work-around for me? I think I found a way to compose a master list of custom labels and have them available for multiple cards (new and old) in Address Book on a MacBookPro and in the Contacts directory on an iPhone. I have tried compiling a master list of custom labels using Address Book Preferences/Template and I find there's a limit to the number of custom labels I can add as a label for each field.
Here's my workaround.
1) Go to the iPhone Contacts directory.
2) Add a new card.
2) Enter data in these fields: address, date, email, and phone. The standard label will appear on the screen below the data.
3) Tap the standard label and you will go to a screen with 2 windows. The top window has the standard or preset labels for that field but below it in a second window is a button "Add Custom Label". Tap on this button and you will be able to add the text for a Custom Label for each of these fields. This will then become a master list of Custom Labels that can be used in most labels in the iPhone Contacts Directory.
4) If you have your IPhone set up to synch with your MacBookPro or iMac, the entry in the iPhone Contacts directory will be transferred to your other Mac, with the Custom Labels.
Barney - 15E: Can you find a glitch??? To me it seems to make a master list of custom labels available for all card, new and old. The only problem is that the input has to be done on the iPhone.
