Hi Cindy,
Thanks for the tips. The Tag1,Tag2,Expr fields all refer to the correct default dot matrix printer, so we didn't delete them. Has any UTM used VFP to print to a dot matrix using fan-fold labels before? IOW, can it be done?
The problem seems to be with Window's printer setup and the limited choice of paper sizes. Like you said, 3" is about the smallest.
We tried these cases:
(1)Printed DOS Fox 2.0 labels one at a time on dot matrix. Just what we need, but not in VFP.
(2)Converted the Fox 2.0 .lbt to Fox DOS 2.6, called it in VFP 6. It printed a "page" full, then paged at 11".
Customer *really* wants to print one test label at a time, before printing the batch job. Seems reasonable enough, given that one might also want to print checks one at a time, and most check forms are less than 11".
I know that ??? and textmerge syntax is obsolete, but could these avoid the 11" pagination and allow printing one at a time?
Hope someone knows a solution...

>>Hi All,
>>We want to use a dot matrix printer to print labels on continuous fan-fold paper. We can't get the label wizard or label designer to treat each label as a fixed-height item. That is, VFP wants to print out 8 (in this case), shift down 1/4 inch, then print the next 8...
