[Dx4win] death to labels

Sun, 27 Jan 2002 12:44:34 -0500

Larry... I have been down this road before.
I wanted to print the QSL report on the left hand side of the back of my
QSL cards.
I actually tried 3 differant logging programs 'till I found one I could do
it with.
By the way... What laser printer do you have? I have an HP LJ 6P, and it
feeds the
QSL's just fine. You want to change the paper path so it does not have curl
around the roller. Have it feed from the front, and exit from the rear.
....Dave
