#What is an inf file drivers
For the currently released version of NDPS this causes some problems because we use that name to insure we don't have two duplicate drivers showing up in the list of available drivers in the RESDIR. We have seen some INF files that for different languages use the same "listable" name for the printer. "HP LaserJet 5/5M - Standard"= HPPCL5G.DRV,LPTENUM\HEWLETT-PACKARDHP_LAE238įor printer drivers of different languages it could be helpful to the Admin of NDPS to have a language identified in the name of the printer displayed from the INF file. We have seen many INF files that do not include them yet the printer is capable.
Since NDPS can use these ID's it is useful to us if you include them.

Other useful information can be obtained from the MSDN CD by looking up stuff on each of the subsection types in the INF file (ex: the CopyFiles Section, the Manufacturer Section, DataSection, SourceDiskFiles, SourceDiskNames, etc.).ġ) Plug and Play ID's - in a key identified under an install section title you can add a 24 character Plug and Play ID (on printers that have IEEE 1284 DID's). A good overview article is titled "Using the Printer-Specific Windows 95 INF File Extensions" (at least that was the title on one of the MSDN CD's). The best source we have found so far for inf file format specifications is on the Microsoft Developer Network CD.
