Crystal reports 7.0 and shipping labels

Perhaps using a generic text printer driver and point it to the desired
printer would work to solve the blank page between labels.

In response to my orignal question. you replied:

Is this the standard "Shipping Labels" Crystal form, SHIPLABL.RPT ? You
can use Crystal to modify it and tell it to use a specific
printer. However, you might still have problems. I've been trying to
resolve a similar PO printing problem for ages now.

Yes it is the standard shiplabel report I changed the default printer in
Crystal. But it prompts me anyway at the time of the print request and adds
the blank page between labels.

Is there a way to force shipping labels to print on my label printer (ups
2442) and not on the Win95 client default printer? I am also getting a blank
page between labels. I suspect it is a print driver issue. Anyone know of a
valid driver that I can use?

Thanks

It appears that Crystal forms run from within Vantage like to use the paper
size and orientation of the windows default printer, regardless of the
printer you select and its settings. I've had partial success compiling
the reports rom Crystal - but then you have to do a print preview in
Vantage to generate the temp files, then run the compiled report.
