paper letter or eletronic mail merger ? What you need is : - 1. write a "template" in WP with tag like <NAME> <DATE> <ADDRESS> - 2. make a database with the corresponding data - 3. replace tag by data from a database, and generate a new WP document - 4. print all these ducument. 1 & 2 are not programming related 3. Should not be impossible, look at the wp binary file if you can find and replace the tag 4. More difficult: can you start a print job from a command line ? or put all file in a directory, then start WP and ask him to print all file in this directory or create print job and put them in a queue and hope WP will process the queue.
