We have a networked HP Color Laserjet 1600 on a print server (could also be
shared on a Windows XP Pro box).

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.
