I KEEP GETTING ERROR_WRONG_LABEL on Brother Printer QL-710W

I have been trying to get my android code to print to a new Brother Printer but

I keep getting ERROR_WRONG_LABEL.

I also get the information:

D/Brother Print SDK: no such enum object for the id: -1

This is my code:

    public void printLabel() {


        Printer myPrinter = new Printer();
        PrinterInfo myPrinterInfo = new PrinterInfo();

        try {

            myPrinterInfo.printerModel = PrinterInfo.Model.QL_710W;
            myPrinterInfo.ipAddress = "12.1.3.45";//not real ip
            myPrinterInfo.macAddress = "";
            myPrinterInfo.port = PrinterInfo.Port.NET;
            myPrinterInfo.paperSize = PrinterInfo.PaperSize.A7;
            myPrinterInfo.printMode=PrinterInfo.PrintMode.FIT_TO_PAGE;
            myPrinterInfo.numberOfCopies = 1;

            LabelInfo mLabelInfo = new LabelInfo();
            mLabelInfo.labelNameIndex = 5;
            mLabelInfo.isAutoCut = true;
            mLabelInfo.isEndCut = true;
            mLabelInfo.isHalfCut = false;
            mLabelInfo.isSpecialTape = false;


            myPrinter.setPrinterInfo(myPrinterInfo);



            myPrinter.setLabelInfo(mLabelInfo);

            //File downloadFolder = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS);

            Log.i("HEYYYY", "startCommunication = " + myPrinter.startCommunication());

            Bitmap map = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.ic_action_overflow);

            PrinterStatus printerStatus = myPrinter.printImage(map);

            Log.i("HEYYYY", "errorCode-11 = " + printerStatus.errorCode);
            Log.i("HEYYYY", "labelWidth = " + myPrinter.getLabelParam().labelWidth);
            Log.i("HEYYYY", "paperWidth = " + myPrinter.getLabelParam().paperWidth);
            Log.i("HEYYYY", "labelNameIndex " + mLabelInfo.labelNameIndex);
            Log.i("HEYYYY", "printers " + myPrinter.getNetPrinters("QL-710W"));
            Log.i("Label-id", myPrinter.getPrinterStatus().labelId + "");
            myPrinter.endCommunication();




        } catch(Exception e){

            e.printStackTrace();

        }
}

Whenever I put the mac address which I got from the printer page, the error code changes to 

ERROR_NOT_MATCH_ADDRESS.

But without it(setting it to an empty string or commenting it out), it changes to

ERROR_WRONG_LABEL.

What is wrong with this code, please?

UPDATE:

I inserted the correct mac id and now the error code is 

ERROR_WRONG_LABEL

what do I do?

After reading through the manual that came with it, I discovered that the ERROR_WRONG_LABEL code occurs due to wrong labelNameIndex or wrong paperSize.

I set the labelNameIndex value to 15 and, voila it worked.

I feel anyone facing this problems should try out various values for the labelNameIndex.

Thanks.
