Is there a way to determine programmatically whether Microsoft Fax is selected as printer?

Hello

My program currently supports fax to Zetafax and to be able to print out
faxes and then manually send throuth the fax machine. I check for the text
'Zetafax' in the selected printer and if a match send the fax number etc to
Zetafax. I want to do a similar thing with Microsoft Fax. But also give
users ability to still use my program if they don't have fax software.

Trouble is Microsoft Fax text description only says 'Fax' which could be
anything! Is there a way to determine if selected printer is actually
Microsoft Fax? How do I do that?

You can identify a fax printer by checking for its
PRINTER_INFO_2.pDriverName to be "Microsoft Shared Fax Driver"
