Just to let you all know that the problem seems to be printer related. On my HP 
LaserJet 2200 the label sheets print wrongly as mentioned above. But when I 
print using my colour printer HP Photosmart 8450 they print correctly.

Thanks to Peter Hillier-Brook who somehow forced me into trying this other printer.
