  Internet printing Reply Contact How do I enable Internet printing in IIS 7.0?  I enabled IIS web serving and checked internet printing under Windows features for IIS, but get nothing when navigating to [server]/printers.  I don't see it in the IIS management console.  (I'm using Vista Ultimate, and have the IIS 7.0 that comes with it.)  I also don't see it mentioned in the help files anywhere. Any instructions would be helpful.  I just need to be able to print from any remote computer over the Internet to my printer. Thanks.

  Re: Internet printing Reply Contact Hi Manuel, The "Printing Services\Internet Printing Client" component available on Vista is intended for accessing internet printing services from a server machine.  The Vista machine is a client SKU and does not support the internet printing server application. You need to use Windows Server 2008 to be able to install the Internet Printing server components (you can download WS2008 beta3 to try it). Thanks, Mike Volodarsky Program Manager IIS Core Server Visit mvolo.com for more inside information on IIS7, IIS and ASP.NET This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

  Re: Internet printing Reply Contact   It just doesn't sound like a valid answer to say that you have to install a server OS on your workstation computer in order to print across the internet.  This was a function of Windows XP, that i'm sure would have been utilized more had more people known about it.  Why take away functionality in a new product?  It would be wonderful if you could provide the add-on that is in IIS 7.0 for Windows Server 2008 for those of us using Vista.   any help?
