Sam,

You can get the SPL files from the Printers folder.You will need to extract
the EMF from the spool file and play the EMF on the corresponding context.
So you will need to create a Virtual Print Processor.The path where the
spool files are stored are kept in the registry.
The PrintProcessor exports some calls of which PrintDocumentonPrintProcessor
is what you need to look out for.

Please let me know if you need more info on this.We had implemeted some
thing close to what you did.

Thanks
Abdul
