--- Comment #15 from Heinrich Hartl <Heinrich.Hartl at email.de> ---
Probably I have a similar situation.
A year ago I successfully printed labels using Libreoffice. Now I tried again
and cannot arrive at the desired result.
The label sheet is different now. The table holding the Database is also a
different one and the Libreoffice version is different too.
I am running now Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS, LibreOffice Version: 6.4.6.2.

I attach the writer document created. When I open Etiketten5*13.odt everything
looks good. An entire page is filled with 13 rows of labels and in each row
there are 5 labels. All but the first one are write protected and
filled/updated using sync. Each label holds two paragraphs: The first § holds
Database element <L11> and a small image aligned left. The second §  holds the
string *<L11>* the same Database element preceded by a start character * and
ending and terminating in a stop character *. This § is using a code3of9
barcode font

I attach also the HGV-FG_label02.ods document holding table F_Mrz2021-1 with
440 lines and header line.

When I try to print the labels a pop-up informs me that "Your document contains
database fields. Do you wand to print a form letter?". I can choose yes or no.
When I chose "no" one page is printed with all labels showing the database
reference <L11>, the small image and *<L11>* translated to barcode. I think
that is ok. However when I chose "yes" I have to wait quit a while. 440 pages
are generated each one of the 65 labels on the page filled with identical
labels. The first page has all the Database fields  filled with the value in
the first line of column L11, The second page uses the value in line  2 and so
on. The last page uses the value in line 440. This is definitely not the result
I want.
