I originally tried to just use a square label, and I thought it worked, but we print some labels that have varying lines, and if the label ran long, I'd lose data between the 2 and 4 inches. It wouldn't just wrap to the next label. Weird, weird, stuff.

The crazy part was, everything looked ok in developer and preview mode. It was only when you printed they would blow up.

I'm curious if you dissassociated formatting page/printer paper size and still had problems with them. I was hoping to go seagull drivers (that is the way to go from what I hear) and set the margins/size manually in the report to make it all work better. We haven't gotten as far as testing this yet though.
