Thanks to some times from Jim Asman, I am now aware of another way to use 
Print Wizard, this time to add overlays to Word documents. Here is a 
snapshot:

1. Create a form in Excel, Publisher, etc., or find one in PDF.

2. Print to file using a PCL-5 driver.

3. Use Print Wizard with a one-line input file to convert the file into a 
macro and load it into the printer's memory, with a specific macro ID 
number.

4. In a Word document, insert a "PRINT" field code with the proper escape 
sequence to trigger that macro, either once or on every page.

Details on request.
