If you go into the Windows Printer setup, you can bypass print spooling for the printer. I don't know exactly what it's called in W7, but under Vista, it's Control Panel >> Printers >> right-click your printer >> Properties >> select 'advanced' tab >> check 'Print directly to the printer'
That way, the status returned to your program is 'closer' to the printer. Remember that your printer is buffered, so it can still be busy printing some time after it has received all the data.
