[LOGic] QSL LABEL PRINTING

The easiest way is to simply do the print routine for labels and, when 
you get to the final criteria window, change the criteria so that 
instead of selecting upon "R", you instead select for "QSL SENT" date 
equal to the date on which you printed the label sheets. Easy to do by 
clicking on the filter (funnel) icon.

That is a "non-permament" change and does not require you to change the 
log status and then change the status back.
