I am working on something similiar here - printinout out information onto medical forms - and think I got the easiest answer:) Just print it out using plain html and style sheets to exactlly position the fields where they have to be on the form. In testing, it looks like it will work on many different printers. Much faster and easier than working with pdf or word!
