Not sure about the user info, but all the other stuff should be

HP Laser printer, you would have to know how to decode PCL 6
to get that, though. Or postscript, or whatever it is that inkjet
printers use.
Seems like to much work to worry about all of the different printer types
and formats (PCL, PS).. I might need a different method than that.
Is there a print spooler involved? Nowadays all my printers are direct connected to the network with IP addresses and built in spooling.
When the server was managing the spooler, I believe you could
set up an application to pre-process the print jobs. We never used
it because the print files were always sent directly to the printer,
but that might provide the hook you need.
The Win32 spooler is involved, so maybe I will do some more research into this possibility.
Thanks for your help...
