Yes, that is a frustration and it has come up often on the enhancement 
requests. I've been told since there are work-arounds it is a low priority 
for Innovative. I had to leave early to catch a plane so I missed a lot of 
the 2006 update session at IUG but the presenter did mention changes to 
label printing. Maybe someone who caught the whole thing can elaborate but 
I still don't think it will do what we want  it to do as far as different 
formats. She mentioned being able to print labels for large print books in 
large font but I am guessing it will still be in the SL6 format.

Currently Innovative only prints to the SL6 format. You want the SP1. What 
we do is choose to print continuous labels, choose the printer to be a file 
and then move that file out of Millennium with Data Exchange. We then open 
it in the OCLC label program and print in SL4 format. SP1 is an option in 
the OCLC program so you might investigate that.
