Comments
The installation path specified in the pszRootDir member is the root folder in which the LEADTOOLS Virtual Printer Driver version is installed. The default installation directory is in the "C:\LEADTOOLS 17.5\Bin\Common\PrinterDriver".
This folder should contain two sub-folders:
\Bin. This folder should contain executable files.
\Spool. Used to store temporary files generated when printing.
Note: All users of this printer must have access to the folder passed to the pszRootDir member.
This structure is used within the L_PrnInstallPrinter and L_PrnUninstallPrinter functions.
