>>For some reason I can't get my labels report to print to my dot matrix printer. I have tired running this report from different workstations and printers and it still doesn't work. I set the default printer to the dot and it still prints to my laser. I use the sys(1037) command to select my printer before printing and it still prints to my laser. Does anyone have any ideas why it does this.

Yes, in addition, I found that there is a serious problem on printing Label, especially continuous paper!!

Why? Win9X/NT use Graphic mode to printing, the print-marigin is different from
actual paper size! Take Espon Dot printer as example, you can't print the TOP 4mm in any paper size define!! ~_~

To clean the frx:

Use myReport.Frx && Report actually is also a VFP table!!
Blank Field Tag,tag2,expr && the first record is carrying Printer info!

* Now, if you want a landscape printing:
* Replace expr With expr + "Orientation=1"

* Well, if you need Custom papersize:
* Replace expr With expr + "PAPERSIZE=256" + CHR(13) + ;
* "PAPERLENGTH=2750" + CHR(13) + "PAPERWIDTH=2100" + CHR(13)
* Means: 27.5 cm x 21.0 cm

Use && Close the Report!
