Mailing Labels

Is there any practical method of using Reporting Services for generating
mailing labels? For example, Avery XXXX labels.
Assume that all clients will be using the latest version of IE on a windows
domain.
Thanks in advance.
MarkYou will need to write a multi-column report and the render the report using
Print Preview, PDF, or TIFF (multi column reports appear as one column in
Preview and the HTML renderers). See the follow topic for more information
about multi-column reports:

when I print it, I get all the labels in just one column. I've chaged the
page width to make it wide enough to discard size problems, I've also changed
column width, etc.
I just run out of ideas. Why can't I get both columns filled with labels?
Thanx
