! But Vista runs my Label station printer software
which neither newer version does without modification, i.e. I can run the
printer on newer software but that means redoing 3,500 individual plant
labels.

Sounds like a case for a virtual machine

I wondered about that, but remember it is a special program with a
connection to an unusual printer. Under VM. would the Vista printer
drivers work and be able to access the printer port?

Yes. I use VMware at work to do exactly that. And the ethernet. And the
RS232.
