Kind of repeating what's already been said, but . . .
When you're using clear labels, you absolutely positively need to buy the right kind for your printer - on the laser labels, if you print with an inkjet printer, the ink will never dry. With plain white labels, you can usually get away with using them in either printer because in the end, they're just paper.
Clear labels for inkjet printers are actually made from a transparent paper - they have kind of a matte finish,feel a little rough, and look a little "foggy" until you stick them down. If the labels you have are clear, feel smooth, and look more like clear packing tape, they're laser labels and they won't work properly in an inkjet printer.
With Avery labels, usually the 5### labels are for laser and the 8### are for inkjet, if that helps.
Same goes for trying to use inkjet photo paper in a laser printer - don't go there. The heat from the laser printer does bad bad things to the photo coating and you'll just end up with a mess.
