NT is not my strong point, but i believe to get access to the spooler status your will need to use either Win32::API and the correct DLL, or write an xs module.

The problem with this approach is that you have to find the print jobs in question. there is some code here thats shows how to get printer status, which should give an idea of the functions for using Win32::API or XS.

I am thinking there must be another way, and will post again if i find it.
