[python-win32] How to obtain printer HANDLE as int in Python

[paolo bonatti via python-win32]

Hi all
I'm trying to print PDF documents with pdfix sdk utilizing win32print. This PDF 
library requires printer HANDLE value as int directly not as a PyObject. 
Is there any way to obtain printer HANDLE value in Python code?(attached is a 
sample)
Thanks
Paolo
