CACI, Inc, Commercial has such a product in use for litigation support. I know, I developed it :). I'm a sub contractor now, but I believe they could sell it to you. If you are interested, let me know. I can take it off line and give you a POC.

More details:

the program itself is an NT/Win2k service which handles the printing on the server (or a standalone PC)
there is a client program which handles the drag and drop portion and sends requests to the server via RPC.
if you have specific TIFF tags such as PageName or ImageDescription, they can be printed on the footer of the page
if you are printing to a Postscript Level 2 printer (or other, specific printers which handle compressed data), the program will send compressed data to the printer.
TYPICALLY -- this means that you will print at or near rated printer speeds (recommend network printers, rather than parallel port printers, though)
Works/tested various printers from QMS, Heidleberg, Cannon, Lexmark
Has printed *millions* (maybe even 100+ Millions) of pages over the last 7+ years
