I don't have labels like you suggest but doing some experimentation
with the QSL Labels configuration and "Print Preview" yields:
2-column QSL Labels:
Labels per column: 6
Row 1 Offset: 0.625
Row height: 1.625
Column 2 offset: *0*
Label width: 5.375
You will need to tweak the settings for your labels/printer.
*Row 1 Offset* adjusts the printer to start *inside* (below)
the top edge of the label.
*Row height* is the distance from the top of the first label
to the top of the next label and may be larger than the
label height due to any "gutter" between labels.
*Column 1 offset* adjust the printer to start *inside* (to the
right of) the left edge of the label
*Label width* should be the actual width of the label (5.5")
minus any margin you might define by making Column 1 offset
larger than the minimum.
Setting *Column 2 offset* to zero appears to tell the print
routine that there is no second column.
Generally when I'm experimenting with new labels I will print
some test labels on plain paper and hold it up against a blank
sheet to check for rough alignment before wasting sheets of
label stock until I am satisfied that the offsets are very close
to correct.

My current QSL cards have enough space that a 5 1/2 inch (width) label will fit, so I ordered labels of that size.? At that size on 8/2 x 11 pages, you essentially have 1-column labels.? Having not tried to use labels before, I didn't realize that the QSL page will handle 2-column or 3-column, but not 1-column labels.? Suggestions on how to handle this?
