Clean Print Head doesn't apply to the QL driver. "cleaning" the heads
requires either a cleaning card or a bit of manual work (can't remember
if the 570 is like a Zebra printer; the instructions should be in the
manual).

The CUPS test page is geared up for page printers, not label printers. I
haven't tried it with the Ptouch driver but I wouldn't be surprised if
it had problems.

As I said - you need to configure the label dimensions correctly in both
the driver and the application. I've never tried Libreoffice, but
gLabels works well.

If you get the page size wrong (especially width), the printer may
refuse to print on the labels.

Can you post the settings you have set in the driver? Screenshots from
CUPS (http://localhost:631 -> printers -> QL) would be useful, and I can
see if you have anything set obviously wrong.
