More information

INFGate is the tool that checks syntax, format, and validity for both printing and imaging INF files. You can run the tool on an installed printer or on a stand-alone INF file. If you select an installed printer, the tool looks for an INF file for the specified printer, and then runs.

Creating valid INFs for virtual printers

Virtual printers must specify a null hardware ID. To specify a null hardware ID, in the models-section-name of the device's INF file, add a second comma between the install-section-name and the compatible-id.

[models-section-name]

device-description=install-section-name,,[compatible-id]

Parameters

LLU_NetAccessOnly Logical Local User: Network Access only.
TestExecutableName Test executable name.
WDKPrinterName Printer name.
WDKDataWhqlQualification Data WHQL Qualification.
