Modifying a print stream

I want to write a program that grabs the print output of another Windows
program, modifies it, and then sends the data on to the printer driver for
printing. It is important that the printer setting in Print Setup is not
changed, and I cannot use 'Print to file'.

Is there a way of achieving this, and what might this involve?

Thanks very much.

As far as I can see is that the "print stream" is the spool (or data stream)
sent to the printer. Once sent cannot be retrieved nor opened for edit.
The spool will sit in the queue until either printed or deleted.
