can one stop/start and drive particular events in the printer spooler?

Joe
I am printing bunch of stuff on a printer through my print vb8 app,
but i would like to stop (pause) one in order to print the others
before (just we print lots of stuff and want to keep them on the
printer in the order).

Does anyone ever tried and is there any way to control particular
events (items) inside printer spooler(s)
Any input will be appreciated!!

I don't know of any built in methods, so you'll have to use API calls.

Here's the Win API directory for Printing and Print Spooler functions:
