my VFP6 app prints continuous dot matrix lables properly
on NT, but a migration to 2000 Server isn't working, the
printer keeps going back to LETTER despite all my attempts
to lock it to the label I defined in both the SERVER and
Printer properties. ( paper size, tray select, defaults,
etc )

I copied the settings from NT, then even tried with bigger
margins ( smaller printable area, keep getting 11" form
feeds after a bunch of 2" labels!

I think this is because VFP stores printer settings in the label/report
file.

Try this:

In VFP8, you can disable this behavior by unchecking the 'Save printer
environment' option on the Reports tab of the VFP Options dialog.
