Hi,

I have used EnumPrinters() to get the values for the "Generic - Text Only"
printer, then used them to create my own PRINTER_INFO_2 structure and it
WORKS!! :-)

The PRINTER_INFO_2 structure must be this:

PrinterInfo->pServerName       = NULL;
PrinterInfo->pPrinterName      = "Generic";
PrinterInfo->pShareName        = NULL;
PrinterInfo->pPortName         = "FILE:";
PrinterInfo->pDriverName       = "Generic / Text Only";
PrinterInfo->pComment          = NULL;
PrinterInfo->pLocation         = NULL;
PrinterInfo->pDevMode          = NULL;
PrinterInfo->pSepFile          = NULL;
PrinterInfo->pPrintProcessor   = "WinPrint";
PrinterInfo->pDatatype         = "RAW";
PrinterInfo->pParameters       = NULL;
PrinterInfo->pSecurityDescriptor = NULL;
PrinterInfo->Attributes        = 576;
PrinterInfo->Priority          = 1;
PrinterInfo->DefaultPriority   = 0;
PrinterInfo->StartTime         = 0;
PrinterInfo->UntilTime         = 0;
PrinterInfo->Status            = 0;
PrinterInfo->cJobs             = 0;
PrinterInfo->AveragePPM        = 0;

Give this structure to AddPrinter() and you get a fileprinter called
"Generic" that is not the default printer and is not shared.
Thanks again Gary for your simple but great idea :-)

Christian
