[:en]Using a Brother printer in your LAN, this message might appear:

The selected printing device is different from the one you last used …

Message in German:

Der ausgewählte Drucker ist ein anderer als der zuletzt verwendete.
Wenn Sie denselben verwenden möchten, müssen Sie eine Suche durchführen.

Solution

Delete or rename file

%APPDATA%\Roaming\Brother\PrtDrv\BtUnivDrv\BRUNVPRNPC.ini

It should work immediately, no spool service restart etc. needed.

    In my case the file was
    %APPDATA%\Brother\PrtDrv\BtUnivDrv\BRUNVPRNPC.ini
    without “\Roaming”
