Dave, DXbase label printing uses the printer drivers installed for your printer. When you ask to print a label, or whatever, DXbase formats the output and delivers to the Window's printer engine and it takes over from there. So, having said that, the issue you are seeing on specific printers is due to "flakey" printer feed, or inaccurate printer drivers.
You might be able to compensate for the problem by redesigning the label and move lines around in such a manner that by the time it gets to the last label, the data is still on the label being printed. You might also check around and see if there are any updated drivers for your printer.
