The printer driving libraries are located in different sub-directory
for different printer control language, so you must check the printer
language before your library link. The PPLA sub-directory is for PPLA
printer language and PPLB sub-directory is for PPLB printer language
and PPLZ sub-directory is for PPLZ printer language..
