Print a PDF file to a Label Printer

Hello in order to save time I am trying to find a way to have an pdf sized so that it will print to my label printer.
I have tried to do this through the print settings but have not made much progress.

My thought/Goal is that I type the address in the beginning of my form and this part of the form is filled in on another page for printing to the label printer. - No problems creating this.

The main issue is either resizing the page to to shrink to the size of the labels for the printer, or scaling the page to fit the size of the labels in the label printer.

Has anyone had experience with this?
Thank you for your time!

Do you mean that the information for the label is huge on a letter or A4 page and you want to shrink it to the size of the label, or do you have a small region that you want to print to the label? Your work flow is not coming through at all and it is hard to help as a result.

If you have a label size print on a large page, then crop the page to the label print. Then go to the print menu, select the label paper, set shrink to fit, and print. At least I think that is what you are looking for.

Hi Bill
Thank you for writing - my error was that I had chosen (choose paper source by pdf size) this appears to have fixed my issue. Which was that my printer would always say that the paper size was incorrect for the printer.

Some printer drivers are picky that way. Glad it worked.
