1. You text page is larger than the printer page,
   margins are set wrong, or there are special
   formatting marks and/or characters at the end
   of your documents.
   
   
2. Check default printer paper-size settings:
   
   START --> Printers & Faxes -> Chose printer -->
   right-click --> properties --> ....
   
   This sets the default settings, that are in effect every time
   an application starts up.
   
   Also note, that if printer settings are not listed within
   your START menu, you can find them in the Windows
   control panel. You can change what shows in the
   START menu and what doesn't by right-clicking the
   task bar.
   
   
3. Now start your application and do the same thing under
   the file menu:
   
   File --> Print --> Settings ...
   File --> Printer settings ...
   File --> Page setup .... and also margins. etc...
   
   This sets the actual settings for this application or the
   current document. These settings over-ride the global
   default setting in item (2)
   
4. To clarify, the settings in item (2) should be setup to
   reflect the way you use the printer the most often.
   
   The settings in item (3) reflect the actual document you
   are trying to print now.
   
   
5. Be careful that the paper size settings (3) accurately
   reflect the paper in the machine, do not confuse
   metric sizes: A1, A2, A3, A4, A5 ....
   
   with English sizes: Letter, Legal,..... etc
   
   These do not line up exactly.
   
   
6. Also check your document, to make sure that there
   are no extra characters at the end of your document:
   
   Paragraph marks, Page Brakes, Form Feeds, etc.
   
   Also check the paragraph settings (in Word for Windows,
   for example, to make sure that is not the cause of the
   problem.
   
   In word for Windows, for example, you can also go
   into tools, options and change the way your document
   is displayed, such that all formatting marks become
   visible (or click on the paragraph tool)
   
   
7. Finally, most Windows applications offer some kind
   of print PREVIEW facility, so that you can see what
   you are going to get, before you physically print it.

SOURCE: HP Deskjet F2180 Margins incorrect for label printing

I eventually managed to print my labels one sheet at a time by forcing the label top edge down the page. You can insert one or two lines above the label template and adjust the font size to get the right distance. It took a bit of trial & error but got there in the end. Hope it helps you

SOURCE: How do I print just

I assume you are using a sheet of labels, such as the typical 3 x 10 sheet. Word sets up the mail-merge document for printing the whole sheet, so if you print just one or two labels, you will `waste' the rest.
One way of using that sheet over is to create a mail merge that contains blank `dummy' addresses. It is rather involved and at best time consuming, and considered not worthwhile to save a partial sheet.
I service printers, and personally do not recommend that any label sheet be re-used. The printer curls the paper, in some cases fuses it, and causes the corners of the labels to be exposed, and possibly get caught in the printer (I have removed a lot of labels from inside printers)
