I have tried clearing the spooler queue and restarting print spooler service. I can't get past this error and Brother says it's not their problem
I had this problem when tried to install network driver to Brother HL-L2340D (exactly InstallNetworkDriver - 3, not InstallNetworkDriver - 1). Tried it several timers, when print spooler service was running. But still got the same error.
Finally, i forgot about install wizard and installed driver manually (for my Win2008R2x64, it was DeviceManager >> Install old device >> Manual choice from list >> Show all devices >> Install from disc >> target to unzipped wizard content folder (...install/driver/gdi/32_64) >> select wanted printer model in appeared list >> continue install it.
After that, you can install this printer with standart applets of control panel (Printers > Install printer), it successfully finds printer in network and add it to list.
So, i still don`t know the reason, but have the solution.

This issue is cause when the print spooler service isn't running, MFL pro installs the printer driver 1st (after paperport install) which will not wun if the service is disabled

1. Browse to Start -> Run... and type in NET STOP SPOOLER (this will stop the
print spooler service)
2. Browse to your windows\system32\spool\PRINTERS\
folder. You should see files there ending in .SPL and .SHD created around the
time you tried to print - delete these files.
3. Browse to Start -> Run... and type in NET START SPOOLER (this will restart the
print spooler service)
