Larry... I have been down this road before.
I wanted to print the QSL report on the left hand side of the back of my
QSL cards.
I actually tried 3 differant logging programs 'till I found one I could do
it with.
By the way... What laser printer do you have? I have an HP LJ 6P, and it
feeds the
QSL's just fine. You want to change the paper path so it does not have curl
around the roller. Have it feed from the front, and exit from the rear.

Ed,
I am also VERY interested in printing directly to cards - and in fact am
prepared to re-design my cards to accommodate the output peculiarities of
DX4Win. But, also like you, have not figured out how to do this yet.
Furthermore, I have determined that my HP Laser printer does not like
standard US (5 1/2 by 3 1/4) QSL card sizes - the feeding mechanisms
will not pass them. The smallest paper I can reliably feed through my
envelope tray (which is how I have assumed I would be feeding cards...) is
about the size of a Number 6 3/4 envelope (6 1/2 by 3 5/8). But, if I
can avoid this ugly intermediate step of printing to labels and then
transferring labels to cards, I will also order slightly-larger QSL card
stock when I order the design that DX4WIN will print on.
The bottom line is: if you need a buddy or a committee member or whatever
as
you figure out how to do this... let me know.
FINALLY: regarding printing to labels within a sheet - DX4WIN includes a
very handy feature when you print labels, titled missing labels. If you
have a sheet of 30 5160 labels, and you have already used 12, indicate
that
there are 12 missing labels and DX4WIN will begin printing at position
13
on the label stock. Without a doubt, DX4WIN does a great job when you want
to print labels... but not such a good job when you don't ;-(

I am interested in printing directly on QSL cards to avoid the use of
labels
as much as possible. I have looked a bit at the help file, but haven't
found
anything that indicates how this might be done. My best guess is that it
would be a custom label, but I don't see anyway to arrange the
information
so that it will appear in the correct locations to match the boxes on
QSL
cards.
Another issue is that it there would need to be a way to suppress the
printing of addresses for direct QSL cards so that they aren't printed
onto
cards. However, it would still be good to print the address labels,
maybe
there could be an option to print just the QSLs that have addresses on
label
stock. The printed QSL labels could be used to match the address labels
to
the cards.
Last, but not least: Is there a way to start printing in the middle of a
partially used sheet of labels?
