Could you please elaborate on what it is you want to get? Do you want
the PCL / PostScript / ESCP / ... print data generated by the printer
driver? Or do you want the EMF Spool File? Or do you want the actual
.doc /. xls ... document file that the application is printing?
If you need the EMF (or bitmap) page data, I suggest you have a look at
the various Virtual Printer drivers offered on the web. Several are also
available as OEM versions.
For example PrintTuner (http://www.graphicshighway.com/) by Vipin
Aravin, that one actually includes it own EMF engine and is available in
a source code license.
There are also several other products available on the web.
If you have no experience developing printer drivers, I strongly suggest
you go for one of the existing products, as developing your own can be
quite challenging with lots of pitfalls and subtle "features".
