The Google Contacts app doesn't support direct label printing, so we will use a third-party app: 'aftermail address labels'.

Download and install 'aftermail address labels' from their official site. Open the app and follow these steps:

Selecting Your CSV File

Open 'aftermail address labels'. Click on 'Select CSV File', navigate to your file, and click 'Open'.

Customizing Your Labels

Next, configure your label. Choose your label size, and font, then click 'Edit Fields'. Ensure 'Full Address' and 'Name' are checked off, then click 'OK'.

Now, you're all set. To print your address labels, simply hit that 'Print' button. You can print a single page or multiple, depending on how many labels you need.

And there you have it! With these steps, printing address labels from your Google Contacts is done in no time. Now, you're free to focus on letter-writing or gift-wrapping. Happy printing!
