[Dx4win] Print QSL Cards

[John Shaw]

 I have done this.  Not sure if this is the best way but here is what I did.

I made a custom label the size of the card  with nr across 1 nr down 1 Paper
size Custom then adjusted the left and top spacing to put the printing where
I wanted it.  It actually worked quite well with an ink jet, BUT.

A couple of thoughts on consumer grade printers.  Ink jet printing is
hopeless if it gets wet and I have had people request a replacement card
because the postie dropped the letter in a puddle or something.  Laser
printers don't print very well on heavy card just not enough heat to fuse
the toner properly, yes some have a setting for heavier paper.  I'll let
others decide if their laser fuses the toner good enough but I have gone
back to labels and a laser printer.

I was hoping to print directly on the back of my pre printed QSL cards...
This is my third call. I have three different cards (and styles). I can do
labels for the other other two. My current printer is a Brother HL-5250. I
also have a HP OfficeJet Pro 8610, but that has not as easy to setup (as I
can tell).
