So I looked at the configuration in LibreOffice 4.0.6 and LibreOffice
4.2 beta-version and the configuration seems to be correct. I even
compared it to the result that I get in Word 2013 for the same label
(sorry for not thinking about doing that earlier). So before I put
anymore time into this it would be good to know what version of
LibreOffice you used when you created the labels?

I think the configuration in the wizard may be wrong. The Avery 5160
has 30 labels on a 8.5" x 11" sheet each measuring 1" x 2 5/8". It is
probably one of the most common labels used so I am surprised the
issue hasn't previously been raised. As I indicated in my email, I
didn't have any problem when I switched to Word so I am reasonably
confident the issue is not related to my printer.
