Windows Server and Internet Printing - Printer Not Found

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.

Hi,
Thanks for the post.
As we know, when the user connects to any of the printers on the Internet printing Web page, the client (running, for example, Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008) first tries to find a driver for the printer locally. If an appropriate driver cannot be
found, the print server generates a cabinet file (.cab file, also known as a setup file) that contains the appropriate printer driver files. The print server downloads the .cab file to the client computer. The user on the client computer is prompted for permission
to download the .cab file.
In this case, I would liket to confirm if a custom website is set up for Internet Printing. If so, a custom website will need to have the Printers virtual directory copied to it with the Application Mappings.
Please also check if the "Anonymous Authentication" and "Basic Authentication" is enabled in IIS Manager.
Hope this helps.

Does windows server 2008 internet printingwork with Iphone as I really could do with finiding this out

I have a job on next week integrating iphone and was wondering if itwill work on windows server 2008 internet printing?
I am a bit of a newby to iphones

Thanks

This apparently would be possible if the server is running the HP ePrint Enterprise server. HP has an app that then allows an iOS device to print to it. There may be other, similar services, though I haven't found any. Perhaps someone else will know.
This is the iPad forum, by the way.

I can no longer print using wifi. I have to connect a USB cable to print. Setup and pref show that I should be able to print wireless but I keep getting printer not found msg when trying.

I can no longer print via wifi. I could at one time but now I have to connect to printer with USB. All settings appear correct in printer and macbook. Sys pref shows printer with green light next to idle. Sending a print prompt results in "searching for printer, printer not found, ensure printer is turned on". I have reinstalled printer in my print list and reinstalled printer software on macbook. Kodak 5250 AiO printer shows it's configured for and on wifi channel. I go online with laptop using wireless but cannot print. Help!

If you know the IP address of the printer, then you can check if there is a working path between the Mac and printer. This can be done using Network Utility or a web browser.
If you open Network Utility and select the Ping tab, you can enter the IP address of the Kodak and then press the Ping button. If there is a working connection then you should get a reply to each packet sent.
With the web browser, many devices have a built-in web server so you can type the IP address of the printer into the browser and if there is a working connection then you will open the printers web page.
So, are you able to confirm you have a working connection between the Mac and printer?

Windows Server 2012 R2 print issues

We are using terminal server with Windows Server 2012 R2. Our users are using Windows 7 Embedded thin clients with MSTSC RDP 8.0. We are using network printers.
There is problem with printing from Adobe Reader. We are using Adobe Reader 11.0.06. Sometimes users cannot print from Adobe Reader with error message "Printer not found" even though we can print on same printer from other software. This problem can be solved by relogging user, but in our enterprise environment, this is not acceptable solution.
Thanks for your help.

I had the same issue with another Canon UFRII that was not on the network. Canon has some monitor software that attempts to query the device and this threw back Invalid Parameter when the device did not exist. Is your device on the network?

Can you use one of the UFR drivers Canon included with the operating system?

Hp 5535 will not scan, error message printer not found

I have a HP Envy 5535. I have only been able to scan one time with it. I scanned 22 documents, after running HP Scan Doc 4.4. Each time the HP Scan Doc states that everything is OK, yet as soon as I try to do even a test scan, I get the error message "Printer not found." I have also tried to run this scan with my McAfee virus firewall off, and it still doesn't work. I have also identified it on McAfee as part of my network.
This question was solved.

Hi @prazdancr,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I am sorry that you cannot scan with your HP Envy 5535, but I am happy to help!
For further assistance I will need to know:
If you are using a Windows or Mac Operating System, and the version number. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
If the printer is connected, Wireless, or USB.
If the printer is able to make copies by itself.
If the power cable is plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
In the meantime, please try going through this scanning guide. A 'The computer is not responding' Error Message Displays During Scanning.
Hope to hear from you soon, and have a nice day!

Printer not found but my 5510 is connected to the network

Help, my 5510 B111a printer was working fine then suddenly it stopped finding my computer to scan to, and my printed couldn't find it to print to.
I have recently changed my broadband to BT Infinitty 2, but it was working after I changed.
I have restored the the printer to factory settings and reinstalled the new router and it is showing as being connected to the network and shows the IP address.
I re-installed the driver on my laptop but when it tries to add it to the network it comes up as 'printer not found'. I entered the IP adress it gave me when I connected it to the network but it still comes up as not found.
Going a bit mad here now, can anyone help please?

Sorry that you are having a problem with the printer not being found.
Try to disable the firewall and anti-virus.
Also, plug in a USB cable and see if it gets recognized. If so, then it is something on the network that is blocking the printer ports.

Printer not found all of a sudden

I've been merrily printing away from safari to my wireless HP Photosmart C4700 printer for a few months utilizing HD Print Magic when all of a sudden today it's not working. When I click print in safari to print a page, it says printer not found. Normally I click print in safari and it sends it through print magic. I wondered if print magic was seeing the printer, so I opened print magic and indeed the printer was there. Somehow safari is not seeing my printer. Does anyone know how to rectify this? Help would be appreciated!!

If it is a Safari thing only, maybe resetting Safari as described below will help. The first thing that I would try if you haven't done so already is to simply restart your iPad. These are all sort of generic type things but you can give them a shot ....
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Cache. Then restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut down. To power up, hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears. Try to print again.
Try this as well. Close Safari and all open apps. If Safari is open - you have to tap the home button before you close the apps. Double tap the home button to bring up the task bar. Tap and hold down on any app icon in the task bar until it wiggles. Then tap the minus signs in the corner of the app icons to close them all. Then restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut down. To power up, hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears. See if you can print now.
I guess you could also try rebooting your router - sometimes that can fix wireless issues that crop up. Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.
You can also reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds untilt the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider. See if you can print now.

Quicktime would fail to write/export to server windows share with "Error -43: file not found" errors

Summary:
With the combination of Windows 7 and Quicktime 7.x, Quicktime would fail to write/export to server windows share with "Couldn't create output movie storage" and "Error -43: file not found" errors
Steps to Reproduce:
Trying to render to Quicktime files using network shared folders as a destination:
Unable to open file. (-1610153459)
The funny thing: it only happens when there are at least two shared folders mapped on the workstation, and the destination folder used for the rendered movie is not the first one.
If we have only two mapped drives, F: and G: for example, and we try to render something to F:, everything works fine and no error is showed. But, when the destination is the G: drive, rendering never works, the error is showed, but a zero-byte file is created in F: (!!). ODD! If we remap F: drive with a different letter, but a letter BEFORE G:, the problem always happens. If we remap drive F: to any letter AFTER G:, making G: the first available network drive, rendering works. Also, simply unmapping F: and leaving G: as the only connected network folder makes render to work.
We do not have a D: drive in our Windows 7 workstations, they are all C: only.
It is a 100% reproducible problem. We tried with three different Active Directory networks and workstations. It has all of the features of a software bug.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers!
Expected Results:
Error -43: file not found
Actual Results:
The workaround seems to be to use the full path to the servers instead of the mapped mount point (ie //server/z/... instead of Z:/...
Regression:
All versions of quicktime 7 in combination with windows 7 client and more than one smb share point mapped in a letter.
Notes:
All software that uses quicktime movie exports showed this error.

Not sure what file your are referencing? Thanks for your suggestion, however, it's not relavant.
It renders fine if you render to either the UNC path or the first mapped drive.
i.e. If you have two mapped drives G: and H:
they both point to \\fileserver\share1\folder
If you render to H: it will fail, if you render to G: it works! Same path, same user, same permissions.
The only difference is H comes after G, so it fails... BUG. If it was to do with anything else, underscores, permissions etc, it would fail on both.

Version 3.6.6 and Internet explorer will not load sites, so I reloaded the older 3.6.3 of firefox and websites load fine. Internet Explorer still will not load. The error message corresponding with 3.6.6 was that there were problems with the proxy serve

Upgraded to 3.6.6 and no sites loaded, error in proxy server. Internet explorer will not load either. Reloaded firefox 3.6.3 and sites load fine, but internet explorer still will not load. I was only able to connect to yahoo messenger when websites were not loading.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded to 3.6.6

I have a problem with Firefox loading. It will not load and it says Firefox is using a proxy that refuses connection. Check with your network administrator. How do I get Firefox to work. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it twice. Any help would be great thanks.

Hey Podieboy,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are receiving a message about missing files when you start iTunes. The following resource may provide more information:
iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS1408
If the file/song is not important, you can simply delete it from your library to avoid this error message in the future:

The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.

Hi All
Now I try to deploy my SAP Portal Project it gives following error message "The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.". What is missing?
Regards

Hi,
In order to check if those seetings are ok, do following:
Open internet explorer (or another) browser and go to
http://localhost:50000/irj
You should get the Portal homepage with login screen.
If you don't - then you have a problem with your local portal ( may be it is not running ).
If you do - Login with username: administrator and
password: abcd1234
If you don't succeed to login, then you have a problem with your user( may be it does not exist ).
Regards,
Rima.

Hi Guys,
I am wondering about this error as while I am using the same code to connect to the Oracle database server in my Windows program with Win Forms, the connection to the Oracle server is established and working fine.
But when I have tried to use it with Web Forms for my ASP.NET Application, it throws me out with these exceptions :
?ex.Message

Can anyone help?

An error occurred while reconnecting P: to \\JSERVER\Data Microsoft Windows Network: The network path was not found. This connection has not been restored.

Almost every day when I open my computer I get this message:
An error occurred while reconnecting P: to \ \ JSERVER\data Microsoft Windows Network: The network path was not found. This connection has not been restored.
We then have to go through the process of resetting everything from start to finish just so I can connect to the server. There is no reason that we can find that causes this other than maybe windows updating every night. Any suggestions as to how to
fix this?

it sounds like you have a network drive you are trying to map even though you are not logged in maybe in a script or task instead of backing up to :P backup to the share, make sure you have security set properly to run the task when not logged on.
I assume you are running a backup of some sort as this is the backup forum..
