[LOGic] Dot Matrix QSL Labels

[ROBERT CARROLL]

I recently picked up a used dot matrix printer for use with a one-at-time
label printing application.  It would be nice to use this with Logic if I
could print a label or two at a time.  No wasted labels.  No need to put a
partially used laser label sheet back through a printer and risk having a
label pull off and really jam the thing-as they warn you the sheets are
designed to go through only once.  I was hoping to find a dot matrix QSL
label report in Logic, but have not so far.  I was also hoping that the
print dialog would let me select the printer and be able to specify just
which label form I am using.  This works from within Microsoft Word, but I
can't select anything other than 8.5X11, legal size, or a few others using
the Windows printer settings.  Word must somehow provide a more
sophisticated print driver.  All of this can be worked around, but the one
thing that I have not figured out is how to prevent a page feed from being
sent after all the labels specified are printed.  If I want one label I get
it and the rest on the equivalent of an 8.5X11 page are left blank-and you
should not roll paper in a dot matrix-especially labels-backwards.  If I
want two labels, the two print and again I get the 8.5X11 line feed.  

 

Does anyone on this rather quiet reflector have experience in writing a QSL
label report for a dot matrix printer?  If so please tell me how you wrote
it and mail me a copy.
