Brother: NDPS Gateway for Novell Gateway®

Section 5: Modifying the Brother Printer Driver INF file

Before loading Brother Printer Drivers to the NDPS Broker it is suggested to check and modify the Printer Driver INF if necessary to ensure successful operation when used with NDPS Remote Printer Management.

If you have already loaded the driver to the broker and the driver installation fails with NDPS Remote Printer Management you have two options.

Delete the existing driver from the broker, modify the INF file and load the new driver.
Modify the INF and load the new driver to the broker as a new driver with "Annotation".

Modifying the INF File.

It has become apparent from discussions with Novell that the path used in the Brother INF file is not a recognised path for Novell NDPS Remote Printer Management. This may cause the Brother Driver installation to fail with NDPS Remote Printer Management, displaying the error message below.

To correct this issue there are two options.

Novell will release a new .dll that will correct the problem within NDPS Remote Printer Management. The file name is NIPPDRVI.DLL but no date was given by Novell for release of the file.
Modify the Brother Printer Driver INF file before to the broker as explained below.

This explanation is for Windows 2000 PCL drivers only. In the section labeled [BROHL00B]
below the path of three file names are missing. By adding the names of the three files below we can correct the path used by NDPS Remote Printer Management to make successful installation of Brother Printer Drivers.

[BROHL00B]
BROHL00B.DLL
BRUHL00B.DLL
BRLHL00B.DLL
BROHL00B.HLP
BRSPL00B.EXE

BRSPL2KB.DLL
BRSPLWMK.DLL
BROHL246.INI

BRQIKMON.HLP
BRMX2000.EXE
;
; The following three files were added to this section.
;

In the case of MFC Printer Drivers modify the INF as follows before adding to the broker.
