Thank you Alex for your quick answer.
Indeed, my source print job is paused, because this is how I can
intercept and copy the spl file.
Actually convert to pdf is not a such big job. It can be done very
easy with redmon+ghostscript.
This is way I want to duplicate the print jobs (one copy should be
transmitted to the real printer and the other copy should be
transmitted to the virtual printer which converts to pdf and sends the
document to some server).
