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.

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.

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.
