Re: [IUG] Modifying Monographic labels

["Angela Igo" <aigo at weberpl dot lib dot ut dot us>]

Gene,
I looked at these, but the biggest problem is that the dot matrix
printers are very old, so servicing them becomes an issue.  Also I
haven't found any dot matrix printers that will work with Windows 7
either.
 
Thanks for the suggestion.
