After sending the document to the printer/spooler, it's usually not a matter
of your application anymore. The user can use the printer spooler window to
handle the documents.

AFAIK, there's no built-in support for dealing with the spooler. Here's the
documentation from the platform SDK:

There's a group for "native" printing questions:
microsoft.public.win32.programmer.gdi
