Hiding a System Printer

[vslamba]

hi all,
My requirement is that once a printer is installed on machine to hide
it through some program (VC++/C#). Beacuse it should not be shown to
the user.

Can this be done? If yes, once the it is hidden, if i programtaically
print from it then where there will be a problem.

remove the Everyone group from the printer security. Admins will be able to
open the Printers Folder and see the printer but a non admin user will not
be able to see the printer.

The application will need print access to the device.
