Hi John,
It kinda sounds like the label page length is somehow set at or slightly longer than the printer's actual page length so that the printer is automatically executing a form feed at the bottom of the page. Meanwhile, Fox is generating its own form feed at the bottom of the page giving the blank page of labels.

Have you check page setup to make sure that Print Area is set to "Whole Page"?

What kind of printer are you printing to (brand and model)?

>>John, are you using a VFP label setup? Is your printer set to the correct default printer? If all else fails can you use page setup to design a 'page' that is exactly 1 label in length?

We began working with different combinations (using report command instead of label, hacking the lbx file etc) nothin has worked, but we have managed to get it to print all the labels but it now skips 11 between each set. I may have to resort to the page exactly the size of a label. Once again, thanks for your assistance.
