>I'm attempting to print from a W98 pc on a Novell network from Vfox6.0 to a Dot Matrix printer, and it's sole purpose in life is to print 5x6 labels. I always get an 11" page eject after each page. Is there a tool available, or some modification I can make, to get around this problem?

Your printer needs to understand the pge length - it's overwhelmingly likely that the spool stream is terminated with a form feed character. You might try sending a raw print stream rather than using a tool like VFP's Report Writer, to avoid any confusion caused by the two spooling layers involved now - the one on your local system, and the one managed by Novell.
