Thanks for the quick reply Jack. Both "problems" now fixed. I downloaded a new printer driver from the web, uninstalled the old one and installed the new. Printer now seen by 2006. The QSO record had a QSL Via entry of Mgr$$ and the pending label file had a 1 which should have selected the manager routing. I deleted this pending label and generated a new one. The replacement pending label now works with the 8160-1Q label. I suspect I must have originally saved the pending label with a Bureau routing , then changed it to Mgr$$ in the QSO record and edited the pending label from 0 to 1. Apparently the edit didn't do the job, but creating a new pending label did. Thanks for the help. 73, Gary AL9A
