A better solution might be the use of a PostScript template downloader
that offers user editable fields.  User input is merged with a predefined
PostScript template.  One such program is, Laser ConTemplates  from Lupin
Software, P.O. Box 4009, Davis CA 95617.  A demo version is available on
GEnie in the Macintosh area in the Commercial demos library.  (Disclaimer: 
I wrote some of the PostScript code for it.)
        
Several years ago I wrote a HyperCard stack that merged user-entered text
with PostScript templates to print convention name tags, business cards,
report covers, etc.  It was created to solve a similar problem.  However,
that effort was abandoned because no one was interested in it.  Ive
uploaded a one template version of it to the HyperCard area on GEnie.  Its 
called Laser Printing from HyperCard.
