ftDriverDate.dwHighDateTime (4 bytes): A FILETIME value ([MS-DTYP] section 2.3.3) that specifies the date this package was published, see field DWORD dwHighDateTime.

PaddingForAlignment (4 bytes): 4 bytes of padding to align the dwlDriverVersion field on an 8-byte boundary. The contents of this field MUST be ignored.

dwlDriverVersion (8 bytes): A 64-bit value that specifies the version of the core printer driver that can be used to match the driver version in the driver installation control file.<111>

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

dwPrinterDriverAttributes (4 bytes): A bit field that specifies attributes of the printer driver. When used as an input parameter in a call to RpcAddPrinterDriverEx, this value MUST be zero. When used as output in the custom-marshaled form of this structure (_DRIVER_INFO_8), this bit field is defined as one or more of the bit flags described in the table in section 2.2.1.5.6

szzCoreDependenciesOffset (4 bytes): An unsigned integer that specifies the number of bytes from the start of the structure to the szzCoreDependenciesArray.

ftMinInboxDriverVerDate (8 bytes): The minimum date version that is required in order for any core printer driver to be used as a dependency as listed in the multisz structure pointed to by the pszzCoreDriverDependencies member. The value of this member MUST be specified in the same format as the ftDriverDate member.<112>

dwlMinInboxDriverVerVersion (8 bytes): The minimum file version that is required for any core printer driver to be used as a dependency as listed in the multisz structure pointed to by the pszzCoreDriverDependencies member. The value of this member MUST be specified in the same format as the dwlDriverVersion member, as specified in section 2.2.1.5.6.<113>

Variable_Data (variable): An array of zero or more groups of optional, variable-size fields, which are defined as follows.
