Unable to load Xerox Workcentre 7232 & 7345 printer drivers

Environment

Novell iPrint for Linux
Novell iPrint for NetWare Novell NetWare 6.5 Support Pack 7 Broker

Situation

Xerox Workcentre 7232 and 7345 PPD files will not upload to the broker for either Linux or Macintosh.  iManager is returning the error "NDPS Library Error Category: 1060004h.  Other Error: FFFFc65h".  On a NetWare server it also causes the server to either hang, which requires a hard reset, or abend.

Resolution

The PPD file does not conform to known PPD standards.  The current workaround is to edit the PPD file and change the LanguageEncoding: UTF8 line to read LanguageEncoding: UTF-8.  This will allow the driver to be uploaded on a Linux server. 
 
For a NetWare server, the change to the text file is needed along with a new RMANSRVR.NLM dated October 22, 2008 or newer.
