Try printing the label on plain paper first to see if it's a printer or DESI problem
Check your printer set up for:
Using the correct feed tray,
Correct paper type
Correct paper length
Or use a manual feed if available
Sometimes the thoughts in my head get so bored, they go for a stroll through my mouth. This is rarely a good thing.

Use a removable glue stick and stick the back side of DESI to a plain piece of paper and try that in your printer.

This is what is in the DESI manual Chapter 9 - Troubleshooting Printing Desis “My printer feeds the DESI sheets through without printing anything” or “My printer only prints the first few lines of the desi.”
This is caused by the “end-of-page” sensor in your printer. This sensor “sees” the holes in some desi sheets, and assumes that it has reached the end of the page. The printer will then stop printing and eject the page. A test to verify that this sensor is causing the problem is to print a desi on a plain sheet of paper. If your desis print normally on a plain sheet of paper but not on a desi sheet, the sensor is causing the problem.
Solution: Desi Telephone Labels, Inc. produces specially-designed Post-it™ notes, called DESI Backers, that can be placed on the back of the DESI page to cover up the holes that are triggering the end-of-page sensor. See the front cover of this manual for information on ordering DESI Backers. https://labels.desi.com/product-exec/product_id/812/nm/DESI_Backer_Oversized_Post_it_NotesWhich sounds like you tried already.
There is no such thing as stupid questions. Just stupid answers.

Try a dark-colored paper as the backing paper and see if that makes a difference.

You guys are a genius, PTL. Takes a little more time but that's part of it. I had called desi help line they did not offer the info you gentlemen have. Had also called hp printer help line with no help either. Thank you again.
