Printing a report from Access XP on an Epson LQ-870

I am in dire need of someones assitance.

I have an Access 97 application that was running on Windows 95. The company I work for decided to upgrade to XP. I converted the Access 97 application and backend database to XP but ran into a printing problem.

The old driver of my Eson LQ-870 ESC/P2 allowed me to create a custom label and then specify it by calling the report I had created within Access from the printer driver so it would print the label and then stop. The new driver does not seem to have this feature, so after it prints, the label continues to form feed as if it were an 8 1/2 X 11 (Letter size) sheet of paper. Is there a way to have it print only my label which is approximately 2" X 3"?

I know this a little out of the ordinary subject for the forum but I really am hoping someone out there can help me.

Is this still an Auto Correct bug? try turning the feature off
