launch application from print



Hello -

I am trying to determine the feasibility of the following:

- user prints from any application and selects my printer
- printing launches my application, which displays the content being printed (nothing is actually "printed")


I am trying to gather together information as to whether this is possible, how difficult, etc.
I would appreciate any advice as to where to start researching this - I have read Introduction to the Mac OSX Printing System. There seems to be a number of documents on printing... I am sure I will eventually read the majority of them... but would like to narrow down the field for this initial estimate. Should I be looking at the CUPs / custom backend stuff, a printer module, a ppd file...
all help appreciated,
thanks,
Kris
