[LOGic] Windows 7

Mon Feb 22 17:01:45 EST 2010

Since there is renewed interest in your particular set of print challenges,
I thought I'd toss in an old one which I have, never got it reolved, and
basically gave up on...altho it'd be nice to find a fix!

There's a QSL label report, "QSL LABELS WITH ADDRESS 3 ACROSS". It's EXACTLY
what I want (ie 30 labels per page, QSO data followed QTH mailing labels).
Makes it real easy to print a QSL label and have an envelope label fly off
with it!

Only problem is, the first row (or two or three +/- ) printed on the sheet
come out fine, but the vertical margins eventually "creep" such that QSL or
address labels further down the list migrate off the labels.

In past years, I've tried modifying the report, using templates modified by
other LOGIC users, etc., etc., but no joy. Finally gave up and just use a
report which does reliably print the QSL labels, then I run a separate
report to print the QTH labels, and hope that I can later match them all up,
not mark "Do You Want To Mark QSL's Printed?", etc.

In my case I am running Windows XP, an HP Laserjet 4, and Avery 5160 sheet
labels.

If you find that such issues are printer-related, and not LOGIC or its
report forms, I'd sure like to hear about it!

Good luck es 73
