unable to set up internet printer
|

| David K 2003-11-20, 5:23 pm |
| I have a HP Deskjet 920c printer attached to a Windows 2000 Pro system
in a small domain.
I can share the printer in the printer properties and access the share
from other systems via Active Directory. From what I've read, I just
need to have IIS and File and Print Sharing installed, both of which
are installed and are being used. Other than File and Print Sharing, I
have TCP/IP and Client for Microsoft Networks installed, both of which
are being used, and no other protocols or clients installed associated
with the NIC.
The problem is the printer doesn't show up in http requests. I've
tried the URL http://mycomputername/printers from the system the
printer is attached to and another system in the domain, but I get a
404 error. The root directory, http://mycomputername , is accessible.
I'm also unable to add the printer via the Add Printer Wizard and
selecting "Connect to a printer on the internet or on your intranet"
and entering http://mycomputername/printers/hpdj920c/.printer , but it
can't find the printer.
The printer share permissions allow full control for the
Administrators accounts I've attempted to access the printer from.
I was instructed to open Personal Web Manager, click on Advanced, and
examine the Printers folder, but there is no such folder listed.
Everything I've read on Microsoft's site and other sources suggests
that I have everything set up correctly. What could be wrong?

Are you sure? \\computername\printername would be the share name, but
as far as http, the instructions in Sybex's book and on MS's site give
http://computername/printers , which apparently should show some sort
of menu.
In any case, I get a 404 with that too, even on the local system.

Yes. I also uninstalled and reinstalled IIS, but no effect.

| I got the internet printer sharing to work on W2k Server. I was trying
to do it on Pro, and I kept an eye out for anything explicitly saying
it could only be done on Server and didn't see anything. But I guess
the version of IIS on W2K Pro doesn't support this.
