Printer DC from address

Hi

I have an application that does some printing. I used to use CPrinterDlg to get a printer's device context.

Code:

---

CPrintDialog    printDlg(FALSE);   

if (printDlg.DoModal() == IDCANCEL)       
  return;
       
CDC *pDC = CDC::FromHandle(printDlg.GetPrinterDC());
// ...
// print, etc, etc...

---

The new version of my app, however, stores the printer's address (UNC) in an ini file, so i need to know how do i obtain a printer DC from it's UNC.
Can anyone help me on this ?

Thanks in advance
Pedro

This is what MSDN says about CreateDC():

Code:

---

HDC CreateDC(
LPCTSTR lpszDriver,
LPCTSTR lpszDevice,
LPCTSTR lpszOutput,
CONST DEVMODE *lpInitData);

---

How can i find out what's the driver's file name ?

Thanks for the help
