I'm not encouraged that this can be done: a print driver is given a sequence of
graphics instructions, and generally doesn't know the path of the input
document.
This is in part because the input document may not have a path at all: if you're
doing a print-screen or the like, there's no file anywhere to have a name of.
I doubt you're going to get anywhere with this :-(
