One of the touted features of the HP Laserjet line is the ability
to download a 'form' to the printer at the beginning of the print job
and then just send data to fill in the blanks for each page until
you clear the 'form' from printer memory at the end of the job.

This is an obvious job for a forms application where you could
design the form on a pc and create a downloadable form file for
use with the laserjet during the printing job.

Can anyone give me some pointers to such an application?

Thanks.
