Yes, CPYSPLF will work for you; just write your own program to pick through
the resulting data and print the portions that you want.  Pseudocode
follows:

1) Run package
2) crtpf qtemp/print
3) cpysplf
4) run your pgm
5)   read qtemp/print
6)   determine the spooled attributes/form name, user data, outq, etc.
7)   if qsysprt open AND "break apart" reached, close qsysprt
8)   ovrprtf
9)   open qsysprt
10)   print line
