Steve:
Writing a procedure to handle a batch of labels is
not a problem but that is not what I want. As a ham
radio operator I have, from time to time, to send
a postcard to someone in my log book. So it is an
individual label and the procedure is not called for
every time I run the logbook program. So it doesn't
make sense for the printer to do a form feed to a
new page after printing one or two labels.
I did some google searching and found out that
EndDoc always results in a form feed and a way
around it is to do a raw printing to the printer
port. I haven't tried that. Another way I'll try
is to set the physical size of the printer's page
to the height of the label. You would think there
would be an EndDoc2 procedure that does what EndDoc
does but stops the printer in its tracks so I would
not have to jump through hoops to do what I want.

I'm not sure I understand the question here.
Normally you don't call Printer.EndDoc until you're done printing. If you have multiple
labels to print, then you'll want to handle them as a "batch" and compose them
all onto your label page(s) before calling Printer.EndDoc.
If the number of labels you have to print is more than will fit on a page of
labels, then you'll call Printer.NewPage between page batches.
If that doesn't clarify the situation then I'll need you to describe your setup
and exactly what you're trying accomplish in more detail.

Subject: Printing Labels
I want to print individual 1-inch labels on fan-fold
tractor feed paper. The label prints okay but the
EndDoc statement causes thepaper to move to the next
page. How do I get it tomove to the next label?
The printer does not have any setting for labels.
