How do I print labels?

It doesn't appear that TextEdit has the ability to print address labels. I get nothing when I search for 'labels' in TextEdit help. I used to do that in MS Word.

How would I go about printing some address labels on my relatively new mac?

I found something through google that directed me to Applications>Address Book.app, but I can't get more than one address to print. What I want to do is print out a whole sheet of the same address.

More info:

1) I highlight an address in the address book
2) I click on File>Print
3) A window that says Print on top pops up with this information:

Printer: Deskjet D2300 series
Presets: Standard
Style: Mailing Labels

Layout panel
------------
Page: Avery Standard 5267
Size: US Letter Inches
Margins: blah blah blah
Labels:
Rows: 20 Columns: 4
Gutters: blah blah blah

Copies: 1

In the pane on the left, there is only one address, and when I click on print, only one address prints out. I want to print out a whole page of the same address.

Oh yes printing a sheet of return labels isn't something that Address Book is capable of.

You might want to try www.avery.com/us/print/index.html

You pick your avery stock, design your label and they deliver a PDF file with your labels aligned properly for that type of label stock. Just print the PDF document.

Other alternatives are iLabel and Label Printer Pro.

I have found that the Dymo LabelWriter 400 is an excellent way to print labels. Their software works well and is fast. I realize there is a cost but it was a easy solution for me.
