PC load letter??!!!

The hardest part of most projects is the final stretch, and it's no different with producing DVDs. Except with a DVD, the final stretch is the labeling process...

Open Word, create the label, select the printer, choose manual feed, hit Print, get the pre-printed label sheet, prepare to stick it into the manual tray- oop, looks like the printer already printed the label on standard 8.5x11 paper from the regular tray, even though I'd selected manual feed.

So, open the 8.5x11 tray, put in my pre-printed label sheet, close the tray, throw out the useless label that was printed on regular paper, return to my desk, hit Print again, return to the printer... now it's prompting me to put a sheet into the manual tray!

Open the 8.5x11 tray, take out the single label sheet, put it in the manual tray, watch it get sucked into the printer... Success.

I can edit a video and author a DVD no problem, but it's the labeling step that throws me for a loop.
