[Dx4win] Label Problem

[Larry Gauthier]

Lee,

The "portrait on first page and landscape on all others" is a known bug in
5.03. Paul has said it is corrected in the next release.

The work-around: open your log file with your previous version, and print
your QSL cards from there. Not elegant, but it works.

> 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.

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.

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!!!
