The most common issue which can cause this is setting the Page Size incorrectly 
in the driver. You'll get the red flashing light if the intended page size 
doesn't match the label.

The other issue is swapping the X and Y dimensions - the X (as far as
the printer is concerned) is across the printer; the Y axis is the
direction the label feeds.

Note that most of the Ptouch labels are longer (Y axis) than they are
wide (X axis), but the dimensions on the label box are the other way
around. This means you need to specify the paper size as it is on the
physical label (i.e. longer than wide) then rotate the label (e.g.
gLabels's "Rotated" option).

What are you trying to print, and with which application?
