Printing label problems

Hi all. I use a Panasonic KXP 1124 dot matrix printer to
print out plastic garden labels. It worked fine on my old
computer (Windows 98). When I bought my new computer and
upgraded my software (XP Home and 2003 office small
buisness) The printer now form feeds a letter size after
it prints a 0.75inch height label. I toggled the old
win98 program to not send carrage returns, line feeds, and
maybe even form feeds to the printer. It has been so long
since I did it that I can't remember what I did. In 2003
word, does anyone know how to toggle those so the word
program does not send those commands to the printer?
Appriciate any help.
