> Yes, this is what I'm thinking we have to do. Now, since it's printed from the general procedure, we need to find out is the printer in Graphic mode or in Text mode, and if the later, print to file ascii and then print it (may be using Ed's new class from Download section). So, the question remains, how can we tell from VFP, in which mode is our printer?

>>In text mode, this printer is very fast, and I would want to take advantage of it. Of course, maybe they only want to print 100 labels, and speed may not be an issue.

>Yes, I absolutely agree. Even if we can make this printer work in graphic mode, I predict, the speed would be unacceptable and we would need to turn to this idea sooner or later.

>What do you think and could you please assist in the question, I stated?

>Thanks a lot for your help.
