I don't have any Mac experience, but Windows printers really are device
independent. If it works on one printer, it works on all with no adjustments
needed. The FileMaker default label definitions for Avery 5160 get it right.
You do not have to nor should you adjust any margins, header, etc. for
Windows printers. I don't completely understand the information in the
FileMaker printer definition files, but it appears that they know how to set
parameters that you cannot set (or at least I don't know how to) by
adjusting margins, etc. Here is the definition from labelsus.flb:
<FMLABEL>
<LABELNAME VALUE="Avery 5160" />
<UNITS VALUE="inch" />
<COLUMNCOUNT VALUE="3" />
<HORIZPITCH VALUE="2.75" />
<VERTPITCH VALUE="1" />
<LABELHEIGHT VALUE="1" />
<TOPMARGIN VALUE="0.5" />
<LEFTMARGIN VALUE="0.188" />
<RIGHTMARGIN VALUE="0.188" />
<DISCARDPART VALUE="No" />
</FMLABEL>
