Start Position When Printing Labels from Contacts

I'm trying to print addresses to a half-used sheet of mailing labels using Contacts, but the app only lets me start with the Column 1, Row 1 position. Is there a way to start printing from some other position on the sheet?

You are welcome. What I used to do when faced with this problem was either move the labels to the top or reverse the way the labels were feed into the printer.

Re: Printing labels from iCloud Contacts.

I'm trying to print labels from iCloud 'Contacts'. I have a MacBook Air (which I now use all the time) as well as a wonderful but ancient iMac which I use occasionally. My printer is only connected to my iMac so I want to print my multiple contact labels from there. When I log into iCloud wanting to print my Group 'Christmas Card Contacts' list, the print settings don't allow me to set up the page to choose labels (Avery, J8160 or any other).Any idea how I can achieve this please? I feel I've gone backwards because I never had any trouble doing this from my old Address Book on my Mac but, since iCloud, I haven't keep the old Address Book up to date. I had no idea it would be necessary. It shouldn't be necessary!! All advice gratefully received but I suspect I'm asking the impossible unless/until Apple remedy this defect. Thanks.

You can't. On some label layouts you can reverse the page and it will print on the remaining labels. Just limit the number to be printed to the number of labels remaining.
I don't know if there are any label printing apps that can let you insert a number of blank labels before your labels so you can start somewhere in the middle of a sheet of labels. You may have to do a google search for label printing apps for Mac and contact customer support for them to see if one can start in the middle of a sheet. It can be done with FileMaker Pro but that's a pretty costly app for just printing labels.

I am trying to print labels from my address book, and when I change it to have the first names first, only some names work. Does anyone know what the problem is or how to fix it?

Hi MollyPhloot07,
I'm glad you found the coupons.com app and you might also want to take a look at the GroceryIQ app from the same company. Please note that at this time, printing is only support from iPad to HP wireless inkjet printer. That's most likely the reason why your Canon isn't displaying when attempting to print. The other way to go might be emailing the coupons you want to your email address, then open that email and print from a conventional desktop or laptop computer.
Hope this helps!

Print sheet of same label from contacts

How can I print an entire sheet of the same address label from contacts? I am trying to print return address labels. I can only figure out how to print one per sheet. Anyone help?

An alternative is to use an address in the Contacts application and the print dialog there to print the selected address on Avery labels. The printer dialog will of a selectable Style category. Choose Mailing Labels. You will have Layout and Label tabs. The former will allow you to select the Page as Avery Standard and the stock number (e.g. 5161) from a list of choices.
This is simpler than using the same label template from Avery, creating/duplicating one address label, and printing.
There is no built-in mail merge in Pages v5.

Can you print envelopes from Contact?

Can you print envelopes from Contact?

macjack, thanks again
I followed your instructions, but when you check on any of the presets and look at what can and cannot be "preset" you see that these are the standard print settings, and have nothing to do with the dialogue box choices that you have when you first select the Style "Envelopes" when printing from Contacts.
file://localhost/Users/chvsteve/Desktop/Contacts%20envelope%20print.tiff
(Hopefully when I send this reply, the screen shot I took of the screen I am writing about will appear in this message)
The "Presets" dropdown menu above under the "Printer" dropdown menu only refers to regular print dialogue box options and not those you can select under "Layout", "LAbel" or "Orientation" from the special dialogue box for printing envelopes from Contacts.
And it is these settings that I woul dlike to fix in a preset so I don't have to repeat them every time I want to print an envelope or a label from COntacts.
Any ideas on fixing these options into a preset?
Of should I finally break down and learn something about AppleScripts and use them in a situation like this?

How to print labels from my Christmas card list?

I am new to computers and having managed to type in all my addresses I was hoping to print some labels! Please can anyone help!

Welcome to the Support Communities. What version of OS X is your Mac running? ...Click on the  menu at top left of your screen and choose About This Mac. Note the version in the form 10.n.n and then see this ASC tutorial:

5% to 15% of sites fail to open due to 706 error. Started happening when I upgraded from FF 3.22; getting worse and worse with each FF 11 upgrade.

E.g., reading an online newspaper. I will open many tabs with different articles. About 1 out of 10 tabs will have a 706 error, which goes away when I click the reload button.
It's most noticeable then, but it occasionally happens (1 out of 10 sites) when I click a single link off my bookmarks menu, or manually enter a URL.
I think FF is not y waiting long enough for some kind of response from the remote link.
Like I said, this started happening when I upgraded from 3.22

All the page says is “failure to read response”
No proxy server.
I’ve got lots of add-ons: NoScript, BeefTaco, Ghostery, etc. How do I get a list for you automatically?

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.

Print labels from SDK

I need to be able to print labels from within SDK but I want to make the label format accessible by my customer. Does anyone know of a way to link in to something like ALD from SDK?
Gordon Wood

Gordon,
The SDK does not have a facility for accessing the PLD or the ALD products. You can use the Report Service to capture print information and parameters to send to a third-party report writer such as Crystal that you can then use.

Printing labels from CVI using ActiveX and WORD

I'd like to print labels from CVI. I managed to create the label type I need
in WORD. Now I want to use that in CVI. The following macro describes exactly
what I want. Maybe someone can translate this to CVI, please ???
Sub Macro2()
' Macro2 Macro
' Macro recorded 17-02-00 by IT-Systems
Documents.Add Template:= _
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\Normal.dot", NewTemplate:=
False
Application.MailingLabel.DefaultPrintBarCode = False
Application.MailingLabel.CreateNewDocument Name:="10.63230", Address:=""
, AutoText:="ToolsCreateLabels1", ExtractAddress:=False
End Sub

We do not have an example that will do *exactly* what you need, but you should
find an ActiveX example program, either in the CVI samples folder or on the
Example Programs Database, that illustrates how to print a document in Word.
The function you will need to call that actually invokes the print method
is Word_DocumentPrintOutOld. It's defined in word2000.h; the prototype,
in case you were curious is:
HRESULT CVIFUNC Word_DocumentPrintOutOld (CAObjHandle objectHandle,
ERRORINFO *errorInfo,
VARIANT background, VARIANT append,
VARIANT range, VARIANT outputFileName,

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.

When printing mailing labels from Contacts how do I change the label size?

I want to print mutliple labels from a group in Contacts. I can print 20 labels per page but I want to print 14. I have tried every option in the pop up window but nothing lets me change the label size,

Hi 786menzies,
Welcome to the HP Support forums. I understand that your print jobs from Photosmart 5520 seems very small.
The font size is controlled by the software program that the document was created in, for example any Microsoft Word document that you send to the printer the font size would have been chosen in Microsoft Word. I've included two different documents on how to change the print settings; one for Mac and one for Windows 8. These documents will show you the process on changing print settings if not the actual steps as you may not be using one of the operating systems mentioned.

Printing Labels from BT Yahoo Mail Contacts

The BT Yahoo Help on this topic shows that you can print address labels from your Contact list and choose to print to an Avery Address label template (several choices shown). http://help.yahoo.com/uk/bt/tutorials/cont/con_workcon6.html#help
When I access this I can't see the Avery options only the Basic or the Detailed Layouts. Can anyone help please?

Bear in mind that BT are moving away from Yahoo, so very soon, you will not get access to your Yahoo stuff.

Printing custom labels from contacts

How do you print labels with a different header than just the persons name? I would like to address holiday labels to read:
"The Smith Family"
123 Cherry St.
Denver, CO 80210
Rather than the contact name only:
"Jane Smith"
123 Cherry St.
Denver, CO 80210
Can I create a field that allows me to put it as the address header rather than having to use the contacts first and last name only?

Hi gordonprop,
Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like you want to change the name field on a label. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
