Hmmm.. I havent looked at Brad's program to duplicate a spool file, 
but I think that what you probably want to use is the "Open Spooled File"
API (QSPOPNSP) and the "Get Spooled File Data" API (QSPGETSP)

You might also find it useful to transform that data into ASCII data,
possibly in some specific printer language (PCL or Postscript?) by
calling the Host Print Transform API (QwpzHostPrintTransform) 

All of these are documented in the OS/400 Print API's manual... you
can view it online here:

Good Luck!
