Having looked at every thread I can find on the subject of IPP, I have finally come to post my first cry for help.
My system is:
Server 2008 R2 Enterprise
I have the following roles and services installed.
Print and Document Services
Print Server
LPD Service
Internet Printing
Web Server (IIS)
Web Server Services, most all but Custom logging and ODBC logging
Management Tools, all
If I visit http://<myip>/printers , I get a list of my printers.
Clicking on one of them I get the status page for that printer with option to connect.
Clicking connect I get "Printer Installation Failed -- The printer name is invalid." I have searched for an answer to this problem for three days and nobody seems to have the exact same problem as me.
Now, when I look at the detailed error page here:
http://localhost/printers/SAVIN2NDFLOOR/.printer
I get a 404 error.
Requested URL: http://localhost:80/printers/SAVIN2NDFLOOR/.printer
Physical Path: C:\Windows\web\printers\SAVIN2NDFLOOR\.printer
That physical path does not actually exist. C:\Windows\web\printers\ is all there but there are no printer folders in this directory. Are there supposed to be? What am I missing?
All help will be greatly appreciated.
