For example : I have opened a DOC File win MS-Word , with the solution above , we can get the MS-Word Exe File Address , but I want to get File Name/Address of DOC File

Furthermore when Document is a Picture , there is no Caption !

There isn't necessarily any such thing. You can print all sorts of things without saving it to disk first, so there might not be a file name. And even if there is, the file won't necessarily match what got sent to the printer — people print things all the time without saving their changes first.

Most of the fields you seem to be reading are just informational fields. The printing application isn't required to provide them, and when it does, they're not required to be accurate because Windows doesn't need them to be able to perform the print job. They're just nice to have to the user looking at the print manager can have an idea of what's happening.
