print monitor with Delphi. Possible or not ?

I've gone through some C++ examples on how to write your own print monitor. I've stripped down the source to almost a basic bare bone dll that can be registered but does absolute nothing. I’m currently translating this to Delphi.
I've translated most of the C header files. Since I don't seen any kernel hooks I don't see any reason why a printer monitor cannot be written with Delphi. A Print monitor is nothing but a DDL, which export a single function, initialize the monitor structure (MS DDK) and return a pointer with the newly created structure to the windows spooler.
So before I waste any more time I would like to know from the Delphi Guru's out here if this is possible or not.
If a ask my friend Google and he only cough up 3 hits in Japanese then I know I’m screwed :-)

Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.

Thanks a Mill
