[Dx4win] QSL Labels and Avery 8160 Labels

After getting all my recent PJ2/K8ND 160m QSOs imported to 
DX4WIN, I'm printing QSL info labels for the first time. I am 
using DX4WIN with a HP Deskjet 990Cse printer and Avery 
8160 labels.

I'm having a problem that doesn't seem specifically related to
DX4WIN, but to something else in setting up for these labels. 
Perhaps someone can share similar experiences and 
solutions?

>From Word (Office 2000) or DX4WIN, the labels do not align
with the labels on the sheet. The first is off (too far down by 1/4-inch 
or so), but they *all* seem  spaced incorrectly relative to each 
other, as if the 8160 template were wrong in both Word 2000 
*and* DX4WIN (I know - unlikely). Even if the first label were 
aligned correctly, each subsequent rows would "walk" down,
with each label starting lower in the label space. 

There could be some misconfiguration of the printer, but I
would think that this should be handled by the printer driver 
based on the template rather than requiring any kind of 
manual setup?

Any ideas?
