See the event "RequestPrint()" sent by VPE. Please note that this event does only guarantee that the job has been transferred completely to the print spooler.
It does not guarantee that the spooler did send the print job successfully to the printer nor that the printer did print it completeley without problems (for example paper jam, etc.). We had experimented to retrieve such information from the spooler / printing system of Windows a few years ago, and spent weeks on getting this to work, but Windows as well as many printer drivers were too buggy. It was not possible to get reliable results across different printer drivers and Windows versions.
