The common theme seems to be that you need control of the port monitor.

RedMon, last time I checked (two years ago), did not come with a
64-bit version, and there was no source AFAICT.

I think that if you write a decent port monitor that gets the print
job dispatched to where you want it, you've covered 80-90% of the
functionality needed.

The SDK comes with a couple of port monitors that you can dissect and adapt.
