We want to print text (plain black) with a letter head (in color). We created the letterhead using Microsoft Word, and printed it to a file. We were hoping that when we wanted to print out text with the letter head that we could just queue the output from Word, followed by the text. The thinking being that the file produced from the Print-to-File option of word, would be native PCL, and then we could just throw the text in afterwards. When we try to print the letter head file, we get the PCL commands, as text... Alas, this is not as simple as we had hoped. Any suggestions as to how to produce the desired result would be appreciated. FreeBSD@ehr3.com
