I guess there may not be any, because even though we might be able to access the printer spool using a wrapper, it will be really hard to trig the code at the correct time (before it gets to the print queue)

Currently,I am able to find machine's name from which I am printing, Size of the file, file's name, user's details and able to read contents of file in byte stream through Java code, but I am not able to find total number of copies to be print...I have tried GhostScript and RedMon as well to perform the task...
