[Dx4win] Label Settings

[Harvey Hiller, K6QK]

There is a compatibility issue and it should not require a work-around.  
We are all talking about "standard" labels and as such they should print 
the same way each and every time on any printer no matter what.  Some 
driver or dimension decoding is getting messed up.  I have all the XP 
updates loaded can our developer say the same.  If I'm wrong I'll admit 
it; will our developer do the same.
