Have you looked at label formatting?  Example: Avery labels?  I haven't 
done this in a long time (maybe 1993-4), but I used to modify Avery 
label formats to make custom layouts.  In your case you would want the 
3x5 sheet size with two 2.5x3 labels on it, no?  Will your printer 
handle that size stock?  None of mine will.
Hope that helps
