I just looked at the 570 and it is very similar to the 550 except the 550 will print a wider label. FYI the real cost to these label printers is the labels.

>Thank you very much. I ordered QL-570. For some reason I thought that 570 is more up-to-date printer but I could have been mistaken. QL-550 is more expensive than 570 so it means it has more features. But, hopefully, for printing address labels 570 will do fine too.

>>Connected by USB. I don't see why set printer() wouldn't work. I selected the printer in vfp so create label would have the correct printer showing in the properties window. I am not sure if you should save to printer setting or not.

>>>Thank you for the little test. Is QL550 connected to the PC via a USB port? I am just trying to see if I could set the VFP to print to this printer using command:
>>>

>>>set printer to name ( cLabelPrinter )

>>>>>You are right. I also found it on Amazon for $60 (whereas at Staples today it was priced $99.) I have never bought things on buy.com but I will check it out. But, for now, for me it is important to know that I will be able to use this printer from my VFP application. And I understand that you only used their proprietary software (I think it is called P-touch).
