Yes, you are correct, they should work like that, it's just the apps I've worked on have all been one at a time. Don't waste time trying my suggestion.

Maybe, if you de-normalise your data to have one row with the data for the 2 labels? That is, instead of

row 1: label1

row 2: label2

row 3: label3

row 4: label4

you have:

row 1: label1, label2

row 2: label3, label4

just another WAG while I distract myself from some Flutter/Dart training I'm doing :)

Hi Frank,

I appreciate the response. I'll check on that but the 3 other formats I have 
working all run from the same process/cursor and print one label per page as 
expected until all rows are output.

Hey Richard,

If I remember correctly, these label printers only print one label at a time. 
Can you loop through your result set and print each label one at a time?

Hi ProFoxers! Let's start June off with an actual VFP question.

I've got the joy of generating labels using a DYMO 550 in my WWC
web-based app. The precursor to getting this to work is standard
MODIFY LABEL in dev, adjust the layout until everything preview/prints
as desired, copy the label to my production environment. No special
magic tricks or invoking the spirit of Cathy Poutney beyond saving the
printer environment in the LBX. (Ah, the joys or proprietary hardware
with proprietary paper sizes...)

Currently I support 4 DYMO label formats. Well, actually it appears to be 3 because the 
4th one is giving me agita. The first 3 are all single label per page with varying 
dimensions. The problem child here is a tiny little 1" x 1" page with 2 labels 
per page. Previewing or printing the output in dev only generates a single page with the 
first 2 records regardless of how many detail records are in the cursor that runs the 
report.

While I continue to pound my head on this I toss it out to the collective 
wisdom...

TIA
