You can still print your labels. You just have to do some customizing.
1. Measure the labels on the sheet that you have, and note the measurements and how many labels fit on a single sheet.
  
  Note: Measure the labels carefully. The actual label size might be smaller than the size that is indicated by the label manufacturer. For example, a 1-by-2-inch label might actually be 15/16-inch high and 1 15/16-inches wide.
2. In the Product number list, click a label type that is similar in size to your labels.If you don’t see the label type that you want in the Product number list, you may be able to use another of the listed labels, or you can create a new label size.
3. Click Details, and then compare the label dimensions and the number of labels per sheet (for labels printed on laser and ink-jet printers) or the number of columns on the label form (for labels printed on dot-matrix printers).
4. Do one of the following:
  - If the dimensions and label layout match those of your labels, use the selected label.
  - If the dimensions and layout do not match yours, click Cancel, and continue to step 5.
5. In the Label Options dialog box, click the printer type (either Continuous-feed printers or Page printers), and then click New Label.
6. Type a name in the Label name box, select the height, width, margins, and other options for your label, and then click OK.The new label appears in the Other/Custom category. The next time you use your custom labels, be sure to select Other/Custom in the Label vendors list.
After you select the options that you want, click OK.
Under Print, click Single label. Then in the Row and Column boxes, enter the numbers that match the numbers of rows and columns on the label sheet for the label that you want to print.
Click Print.
