Basically,  I'm trying to make an event based system with pywin32 that
handles spooled files that are to be printed. Users often print under the
impression that their document has yet to emerge from the printer when it
is in fact in queue. I'm creating a script that polls print jobs,  saves
them in a Mongo DB as needed, and prompts the user to reconsider another
print job for a duplicate document.

However,  I'm running into some problems distinguishing documents as unique
because the print job could have the same document name but the files could
be in different directories.  Additionally,  I have no idea how to
temporarily halt spooling until the user has confirmed their decision.

Does anyone have any idea how to distinguish documents as unique and how to
temporarily halt spooling as described?
