There may be a way to do it with VFP report settings, but I'm not aware of it. I'd be curious to hear a standard VFP solution.
If you know how many labels there will be on a page you can pre-process the report file looking for related groups, copying the source records to an alternate table, and padding the records with blank records so your page groups align, then print from the alternate table. In that way, all records will print on whatever page they will, but you've controlled which ones are grouped together by purposefully grouping them / padding them by the blank records where required.
