I did something similar for one of my clients. Again this used RTF with merge fields, then had a VB program sitting on a PC spooling documents by controlling Word as an automation source. The program used a UniObjects connection to poll for new documents to print and for the name of the destination printer from a control file, and then pushed each one out in order. It was a simple way to do it.
