Really?! For what?
(Besides doing a better job of faking Bush memos...)
Well, it's much harder to fill out paper forms using a computer and
printer (getting spacing right, measuring the form to figure out where
fields are, etc). And, I prefer using my Selectric on forms to using a
pen and writing it out; my handwriting isn't always that readable.

Scan the form, load it into your favorite Word Processor or Image Editor
as a background image, and type over the top of it. You don't need to worry
about alighing the form into the printer just right, or that the feed
mechanism
will pick it at a slightly different position, etc.
