Default Printing issue

Hi,
Mail merge document has two pages.
I have set up a "first page - letterhead, subsequent pages - plain" option
on the printer.
This print option is chosen within Word, but when the mail merge printing
starts, only the very first page is on letterhead, while everything else is
on plain.
Is this a printer set up issue or is there a command or switch to tell Word
to treat each new merge as a new document and force it to print 1st page on
letterhead, second on plain.

Thanks,
--

Execute the merge to a new document and with that document as the active
document, use the following macro to send each document to the printer as a
separate print job

Sub PrintMailMergeAsSeparateDocuments()
Dim i As Long
With ActiveDocument
For i = 1 To .Sections.Count Step 2
.PrintOut Range:=wdPrintFromTo, From:="s" & i, To:="s" & i
Next i
End With
End Sub
