Internet Printing Problem

[Mitchel Bone]

Good afternoon.

I am having a problem with IPP on a Win2K server. It is the same problem
Scott posted on 8/16/2004 that never got resolved.

All the shared printers display on the page at http://servername/printers.
When I click on any of the printers, it attempts to go to
http://servername/printers/ipp_0004.asp?view=q&eprinter=printername&page=1234
but then just goes back to the All Printers page.

I have also attempted to connect directly via the browser to the printer by
going to http://print_server/printer/ as described in Knowledge Base
Article - 313058, but once again it just bounces me to
http://servername/printers.

Any assistance that can be provided to help me correct this problem would be
most appreciated.

Thank you,
Mitchel

I'm still having the same problem
I've tried everything, even tried reinstalling IIS, no
luck. I've almost given up on it since M$ doesnt seem to
have an answer.

Hi there,

I have had similar problems, however I made a change to
one of the script files. In the ip_0001.asp file, change
the line

If strComputer = "localhost" or strComputer = "127.0.0.1"
etc

Replace the localhost with the name of the server and
replace the 127.0.0.1 (local loopback) to the ip address
of the server.

For some reason this allowed the whole thing to work as
expected. This also allows the web printing environment
be load balanced over two servers

Hope this helps,

Pad.
