Hi George, I use thermal printers also, and instead of using the label report I send plain ascii characters to the printer, and it works fine under
9x, NT and 2000. This is waht I do:

1.- Set de default printer to my thermal printer with
SET PRINTER TO NAME EVALUATE("lcPrinterName")
2.- Create the text file with the commands for the printer
3.- copy the file to the LPT port with :
TYPE EVALUATE("lcMyTempFileName") TO PRINTER PROMPT
4.- Restore the default printer with:
SET PRINTER TO

Good Luck.
