Printing drivers & architecture

Hi

I've read the information in the DDK about the printing architecture
and I have several questions:

1. Is there a better documentation about the printing architecture then
the MSDN?

2. Why some printers print in raw and some in EMF? How this decision is
being taken after an application is issuing a "Print" command?
Is there a way to always produce an EMF file instead of RAW, regardless
the printer being used?

3. My goal is eventually to get an EMF file from each print request,
analyze it and block / deny the printing. So, Where in the "chain"
is the best place to enter to do such a thing?

Thanks

.
