[Dx4win] Label Problem

Hi all
I have been using DX4Win since version 1.12, then 4.07 and have just =
updated to 5.03. I have my system set up so that I print directly onto =
my QSLs with no labels involved and it has worked beautifully for =
several years on version 4.07. The parameters are landscape with =
portrait "unchecked" and "method" off. The first QSL printed works =
perfectly and the next QSLs, no matter how many are printed, =
automatically switch to portrait mode after the first print and of =
course the QSL doesn't print correctly. If I go to the preview screen =
you can actually watch the first page print in landscape and the second =
page will switch to portrait mode.

The interesting thing about this problem is that my parameters and my =
Dx4win.lab file works perfectly in version 4.07 and doesn't switch. If I =
use the same file and copy it over to version 5.03 the problem arises. =
The file supplied with 5.03 does the same thing. I am using an HPIII =
LaserJet. The same problem occurs with a late model Canon bubblejet I =
can use.=20

I went into the archives of this reflector and there was a lot of =
discussion and threads about a year ago on this same problem. I was not =
able to find an answer except try all the suggestions that were made at =
that time and I wonder if anyone resolved the problem or found a =
solution for the switching of modes from landscape to portrait after the =
first print. It is frustrating to say the least. I suspect that the bug =
is one of the first print in any batch on the preview screen is the =
"method" print and then it switches to printing QSLs. I could go through =
life printing one QSL at a time but life is to short for the volume of =
QSLs I send out!!!

Help!!!!
