You know, a moment ago I accidentially found a file named Win32Print.tar.gz that has something about you're asking.

Although there is no readme-s inside, I can't even figure out it's version. But still it tries to use Win32 API via C code to manipulate printer.

It was not CPAN from where I downloaded it, and last thing I can add to this -- I downloaded it at 31 march 2002.

Let me know if I should send this file to you somehow.

Courage, the Cowardly Dog.
