Actually Rune the source code now come with Redmon so using that as a base to
understand how to write a port monitor is the best solution I think.
But are you saying that its best to work with the WDK SDK? also RedMon
redirects the job to a program, that program is GhostScript in this
circumstance, it also means I need to edit the RedMon Port Monitor to redirect
the output to a server, effectively uploading the job.
Either that or maybe play about with GhostScript to save to a default location
then trigger an application to do the upload for me.
