There is no known solution to get the path of the document from the 
printer driver.

All the printer driver knows is the document name, which normally tends to 
contain the filename without the path, but it cannot be guaranteed. The 
document name completely depends on the application that prints, not on you. In 
a server environment your best bet is to name every document uniquely (hint: 
GUID as filename), and hope the document name contains the unique filename, so 
you can identify them.
