Gene,

I know that associated software would be necessary, but initial problem is 
mechanical.  We have a Xerox DC-430ST and a couple of inkjet printers but none 
of them will feed the forms (too small and/or the adhesive part).  Printing the 
forms somehow onto plain paper and then having to cut them out and somehow 
attach them to the package or envelope would probably take as much if not more 
time than just filling out the standard forms by hand.

I know that USPS have a little printer at each counter workstation that the 
clerk can stick both insurance forms into.  It isn't bothered by the fact that 
the larger form is thicker at one end with the peel-off adhesive layer 
protector.  I was sorta hoping that someone might know who made that printer for 
starters.  Should have mentioned it in my original post.  I'll take a look at 
USPS.COM, though.
