I wrote a small ActiveX in VB6 that takes a custom print template, it's a 
bit rough and ready but works. I know Microsoft say don't do this but as you 
I'm on an intranet so the security risk is lessened.
You can have the code if you wish, I'll need to zip it up and send it to 
your email address.
