detecting when user prints 2

[lucasm]

Hi, I hope this is the right forum for this question:
I'm hoping to create a little program which will run in the background, and its only job is to open a web page when the user prints (to physical printers, not pdf, for example) - and maybe pass a parameter to the page, like how many pages were printed (if possible). I'm trying to find out how to capture that event, to capture when a printer is printed to.
Any ideas?

This page has full details on how to monitor a printer and show the number of pages printed, along with a ot of other information.
