What printer type would prevent you from directing the printer output stream from VFP's REPORT command to a file rather than a printer port? I've not seen this as a problem; in fact, the Windows spooler is, in a way, doing this for you implicitly, catching the printer output from the application and holding onto it until the printer is ready for it.

You might try adding the label to the report summary band, or adding a conditional print on the page footer to only print when at EOF().
