The main reason for this is that a wordprocessing package offers more control over the format and contents of the document, instead of printing the document with a simple reporting application. On my current workplace, a migration to HP is busy. The solution there is WordPerfect. In the past, I have used this solution under DOS, to automatically start WP and produce a merged document. Users should have more easy access to their printjobs and the printing process.
Telecommunication is a real strong point of Linux.
