Solution 1

Try to write the printer output as a temporary file and use it as start parameter for your exe. Start your app with ShellExecute and the file path as start parameter. Pay attention to the start the app with the correct access rights.

Hello Karsten,
Thanks a lot for the solution. I think this way I can Invoke and send the file output. If you can suggest how to use Shellexecute in print driver that will help me a lot. I am unable to find the place from where I can call that method.
Thanks again.
