MonitorNameOffset (4 bytes): An unsigned integer that specifies the number of bytes from the start of the structure to the start of the MonitorNameArray member.

szzPreviousNamesArray (variable): A multisz that specifies any previous printer drivers that are compatible with this driver. The location of this buffer is determined by the value of the szzPreviousNamesOffset member.

szzPreviousNamesOffset (4 bytes): An unsigned integer that specifies the number of bytes from the start of the structure to the start of the szzPreviousNamesArray member.

OEMUrlArray (variable): A string that specifies the URL for the manufacturer of the printer driver. The location of this buffer is determined by the value of the OEMUrlOffset member.

OEMUrlOffset (4 bytes): An unsigned integer that specifies the number of bytes from the start of the structure to the start of the OEMUrlArray member.

ProviderArray (variable): A string that specifies the publisher of the printer driver. The location of this buffer is determined by the value of the ProviderOffset member.

ProviderOffset (4 bytes): An unsigned integer that specifies the number of bytes from the start of the structure to the start of the ProviderArray member.

pEnvironment: A pointer to a string that specifies the environment that the printer driver supports. For rules governing environment names, see section 2.2.4.4.

pDriverPath: A pointer to a string that specifies a file name or full path and file name for the file that contains the printer driver. For more information on driver files, see [MSDN-MPD]. For rules governing path names, see section 2.2.4.9.

pDataFile: A pointer to a string that specifies a file name or a full path and file name for the file that contains printer driver data. For more information on driver files, see [MSDN-MPD]. For rules governing path names, see section 2.2.4.9.

pConfigFile: A pointer to a string that specifies a file name or a full path and file name for the printer driver configuration module. For more information on driver files, see [MSDN-MPD]. For rules governing path names, see section 2.2.4.9.

pHelpFile: An optional pointer to a string that specifies a file name or a full path and file name for the printer driver help file. For more information on driver files, see [MSDN-MPD]. For rules governing path names, see section 2.2.4.9.

pMonitorName: An optional pointer to a string that specifies a language monitor. For rules governing monitor names, see section 2.2.4.8.<14>

pDefaultDataType: An optional pointer to a string that specifies the default data type of print jobs created with this driver (for example, enhanced metafile spool format (EMFSPOOL) or RAW Format). For rules governing data type names, see section 2.2.4.2.

cchDependentFiles: The number of characters in the multisz pointed to by pDependentFiles.

pDependentFiles: An optional pointer to a multisz that specifies the names of the files that the printer driver is dependent on. If specified, this list MUST include at least one file name and SHOULD be ordered as follows:

  • The file name of the printer driver manifest, if present.

  • If the printer driver is a derived printer driver, the names of all the files the derived printer driver depends on. If the printer driver is not a derived printer driver, all of the other files the printer driver depends on.

  • If the printer driver is a derived printer driver, the file name of the printer driver manifest of the corresponding class printer driver.

  • If the printer driver is a derived printer driver, the names of all of the files the corresponding class printer driver depends on.<15>
