Hello everybody,
Please let me quickly explain the issue I am facing at the moment. We have an internal webpage on out intranet which displays all the printers available and gives the option to the user to map it using the following link (IPP is installed on our printserver):
http://PRINTSERVER/printers/ipp_0015.asp?eprinter=PRINTERNAME&view=q
The Printserver is running on Windows Server 2008 R2 and all our Clients are running on Windows 7 64-bit.
So far so good, everything was working without any issues - now we are in the middle of a Internet Explorer 11 rollout and now the mapping of the printer via the URL isn't working anymore. Here what happens when opening an URL:
Internet Eplorer 9
I can see a Pop-Up which tells me something like "Do you want to create a printer connection to \\PRINTSERVER\PRINTER ?"
Internet Explorer 11
No Pop-Up is displayed and I can see a webpage "PRINTER on PRINTSERVER" with some basic information like "Printer Queue", "Waiting Time", etc.
The even more funny thing is: When I enable Enterprise Mode for the webpage which is trying to map the printer then it's working as it should and as it did back on Internet Explorer 9.
Maybe anyone was facing the same issue and can provide me some help?
Thanks a lot,
Rolf
