The AddPrintProcessor function installs a print processor on the specified server and adds the print-processor name to an internal list of supported print processors.
BOOL AddPrintProcessor(
LPTSTR pName, // pointer to server name
LPTSTR pEnvironment, // pointer to environment name
LPTSTR pPathName, // pointer to path
LPTSTR pPrintProcessorName // pointer to print-processor name
);
If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
Before calling the AddPrintProcessor function, an application should verify that the file containing the print processor is stored in the system print-processor directory. An application can retrieve the name of the system print-processor directory by calling the GetPrintProcessorDirectory function.
An application can determine the name of existing print processors by calling the EnumPrintProcessors function.
