Problem printing labels with Access

I'm trying to print relatively small (2" wide, 1" high) labels in Access 2002. I can get nice, clean forms and reports, but they won't print; even when I take the margins down as small as I can, I get the following error:

The sum of the top margin, the bottom margin, the height of the page header, and the height of the page footer is greater than the length of the page you are printing on.

This is AFTER I've zeroed out the header and footer and (in Print> Setup> Margins>) set them as low as they can go (top = 0.125, bottom = 0.50, which doesn't leave much for text on a 1" high label).

I'm printing on a Datamax label printer on a continuous strip of labels, not sheets.

Is there any way around this? Thanks!

Did you set this up using the label wizard, or are you trying to do it with a normal page setup?

Well, I tried it as a normal page, and then discovered the label wizard. Things are working well now!
 
Good. In there you can decide between sheet fed and continuous labels etc. and can set things up pretty much how you would like them to be.
