Is it not the easiest solution to grab a postscript book and have the
program put out some postscript code? It is not *that* difficult. I
can recommend "Programming in PostScript" by Günther Born. (I got an
online version as a Dr. Dobb's CD-ROM)

In fact you could simply build a postscript template with en editor an
ghostview (for preview). You would then only have to fill in the
address and other data you want to print.
