Driver to Extract Text and Positional Info, Create PDF, and Forward to another Printer

I have a project running that requires me to extract the text data and its
position information from a print job as well as create a standard file
(probably a pdf) and then forward the job to another printer ( for printing
on paper ). I have never worked with Printers before and was wondering if
you could recommend a good resource or three for me.

I am hoping to use a Universal Printer Driver from Microsoft and attach to
the appropriate events so that I can snag a copy of the print image (in what
format? i don't know), forward the job immediately to another printer, and
then do my analysis on the image.

This must work on Win2K, XP, 2003, Terminal Server, and Citrix for Terminal
Services.

Thank you for your help.

I'd like to know if there is a way to do this as well.
