Eric, I redesigned my QSL cards so that I could print directly from DX4WIN onto QSL cards, rather than printing to Avery 5160 labels and then doing the peel-and-stick routine <ugh>. My printer is an HP 4550N -- not sure what a 4000 is but perhaps they would use similar label definitions?
I use the "custom2" label size and a definition that took quite a bit of finagling but finally got it to work properly in either landscape mode or portrait mode on the card. Landscape mode is better because then the QSO info, and the station callsign, is printed at the top of the card... which is where buro managers like to see it. This definition prints as may as 12 QSOs on one card, so if you work a DXpedition on many bands/modes you can (probably) get all the QSOs on one card. If you (or anybody) wants the specifics of the label layout I'd be happy to share off-line - send me an e-mail. The problem I have is that there is a bug in DX4WIN 5.03 in which only the first landscape label prints properly. So, until Paul/Steve deliver the fix for that problem I am still doing the peel-and-stick. I have a large run of buro cards I need to print and I was kinda' hoping that they would rescue me from the task... <hint ;-> -larry K8UT ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eric Rosenberg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <dx4win@mailman.qth.net> Sent: Tuesday, May 21, 2002 11:03 PM Subject: [Dx4win] Printing On QSLs with HP 4000? > Has anyone done this -- printing directly on a QSL card from an HP 4000 > printer? > > The offsets are weird, to put it mildly, and I can't quite figure out > what went > wrong! > > Thanks in advance, > > Eric W3DQ > Washington, DC > > > --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- > multipart/alternative > text/plain (text body -- kept) > text/html > The reason this message is shown is because the post was in HTML > or had an attachment.
