Sorry to have misled you. I was only trying to answer the question of whether it was possible to do such a script by clarifying what you meant by print merging, not trying to imply that I had a script to accomplish it. So far as I know it would have to be written. If you want the data file to be in MS Access, that probably means a scripting language that is aware of other applications, which pretty much rules out Javascript.

I'm guessing that if you found someone familiar with retrieving Access records from a script, and familiar with scripting Photoshop, that it would be a 4 or 5 day project to define, code, and debug the template substitutions for text layers in PhotoShop, and to get the printing working. The printing would be a little difficult, because you'd probably want to be able to specify parameters for the first image, then not have to specify them for each subsequent image. This means calling "Print" for the first image, I think, and "Print one copy" for the rest.

I hope someone knows of an existing script or plugin that can do this, because it could be a substantial task.

If you wanted to use existing applications (Access?) to do the parameter substitution to produce a text file with one line per image, and then have a Photoshop script read this file and replace all the text in a named text layer with the new text, this would be a simpler task and could be accomplished in any Photoshop scripting language in a day or two.
