When I try to make 5160 mailing labels, the PDF file that opens does not have the correct alignment.  The addresses are not centered on the page - closer to the bottom - and thus do not work at all when printed.

I am using CiviCRM 2.0.2.  I had this problem with previous versions as well.  I have the same problem in the demo.  Using Firefox on Windows.

As suggested in a previous thread, I am using the "none" option under "page scaling options" when printing.  The addresses are clearly misaligned in the pdf itself, not a printing problem. 

I posted this issue months ago and someone pointed me to that same thread (http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,3560.0.html) which is not my problem!  I'm fairly certain that in that case, it was a problem with the printing, whereas in my case, it is a problem in the creation of the pdf itself.  I would attach an example file but they are too big.  If you try it on the demo you will see. 

Any help appreciated.  Thank you.

i've fixed the typo for L7161. I will be part of v2.1.5

Renee, I also had the same problem with 5160 labels.

Although there doesn't appear to be any typos as mentioned above (tMargin, etc), some of the actual values in label.php appear to be incorrect.

I updated the 5160 entry in label.php (lines 61-64), and the labels are printing correctly now.

               '5160' => array('name' => '5160', 'paper-size' => 'letter', 'metric' => 'mm',
                               'lMargin' => 4.7625, 'tMargin' => 12.7, 'NX' => 3, 'NY' => 10,
                               'SpaceX' => 3.96875, 'SpaceY' => 0, 'width' => 65.875, 'height' => 25.4,
                               'font-size' => 8),

Hope this helps!

i've integrated these changes for 2.2. will be part of the next alpha4
