Finding a Virtual Printer



Hi,

In my application I show a list of all the printers installed. I get the
list of priters with EnumPrinters() function and level 2. However I am
interested only in fetching a list of physical printers and not the Virtual
Priters like "Microsoft Office Document Image Writer" and "Adobe PDF".

How does one distinguish a physical printer from a virtual printer?
