Just pull the data from the db with MySQL, generate the form as HTML and
use html2ps to print the form. I've found that the output is pretty good.
You can get html2ps from <http://www.tdb.uu.se/~jan/html2ps.html>. Your
form is very complex, so you may need to change some of the default
settings used by html2ps.
