Need help with a printer hacking idea

Only a little, but the hex values I found for a data carve did not seem to
help. If you encounter a better source, I'd love to see it. :)

Thanks,

have you searched on printer or copier forensics for file and format
information ?

Ok,
    I've noticed the c:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS folder sometimes
has SPL files in it that contain EMF versions of what is being printed (I've
attached a sample). You can find a viewer here
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/printing/EMFSpoolViewer.aspx . These
normaly get deleted as soon as the print job finishes printing. I've tried
using tools that look in the MFT, but they don't see any deleted files that
match (working on the data carve as we speak), Other than having a app that
sits there that constantly polls for new files in the spool folder, can you
think of a way to have an event fire off that will copy these jobs as they
are printed? Lot's of sensitive stuff is printed, and this could be some
useful info for pentesters/forensics guys.
