I am currently building a similar solution for users to print letters. The user provides some basic elements such as greeting, body and signoff.
I have a Python External Method which I have written which takes these elements and produces a LaTeX2e document. The Python Method then compiles the LaTeX2e document and sends it to a shared office printer.
I am currently working on how to let the user edit the final leter before it gets to the printer.
created a DTML doc with embedded Latex code. All the dynamic elements must be replaced by DTML vars. The result of the processing can then be compiled as usual and sent to the printer using pdftex. It requires some modification to the code in zope. If you are interested I can send you the code. BTW if you can figure out how to access the results at the end of processing a DTML document the same result can be acheived. -- ########################## necessity is the mother of invention ##########################
