[Dx4win] Printing with Brother DK-1201 labels?

[Wayne M]

Hi Kostas, and anyone else having this issue.

I am having the same issue with v9.x Of DX4W. After spending a lot of 
time trying to get the Dymo 450 to print labels correctly, I went to 
V8.05 and found out it worked as described. Something in V 9.X is broken 
with the Custom Label part of DX4W 9.x.

Since there has been no other posts I have to figure no one else has a 
work around or fix.

I am writing here to let everyone who has this problem know, the only 
way I was able to get the labels to print correctly was to use DX4W8.05. 
DX4W 8.05 and 9.x will work on the same computer in different 
directories and you have to export v9.x logs to version 8.05 in order to 
print the labels.
