The laserwriter prints them fine, but I just recently wrestled with this on
a client's imagewriter. [printdrivers from hell]

The solution: have a fake card at the front of the stack or background, set
the tractor feed labels [assume 1" label width] at the second hole even with
the top of the plexiglas cover [ie, off by one line].

As for the default font, ..... still waiting for 2.0 .....
