I got this working now.. but still with a few quirks:

1)I started with Zebra's own universal driver - didn't work at all
1a) Changed to zdesigner driver - started working but then stopped - don't know why - labels were blank
1b)Got drivers from seagullscientific/bartender - heard they make the best drivers. Labels started working.
1c)Labels stopped working again - instead of printing blank - only top line of label printed - very bizarre.
1d) Realized that it stopped working when the label printer was not set as the default printer. Now client is using the application, but they must set the printer as the default, manually, in control panel, before printing.

Now I am working on either a)Getting it to work without the printer being the default or b) writing vfp routine to temporarily set printer as the default - then switch back again after done printing

Any suggestions appreciated

Thanks
