Mail merge--again

This doesn't work:
on mouseUp
repeat with i = 1 to 5
put cr & cr & cr & " " & i into field 1
print this card from 142, 30 to 681,556
end repeat
end mouseUp
What I would like to do is print the number i, running from 1 to 5 on
the fourth line down on the card. (The real objective is mail merge
in a letter, but I'm trying to keep it simple here.)
This handler produces 5 separate pages in Preview--on the Mac. To
print the 5 pages I would have to click "Print" on each of the 5
pages in Preview. (I actually have a couple of hundred letters.)
My objective is to build 5 pages to print in the repeat loop and send
them to the printer while go out for coffee.
How is that done? So far, all I can handle is the coffee part.
Thanks,
Jim Hurley
