Answered by:
The printer name is invalid. IIS

-
Have tried countless remedies listed here and in other forums with no avail. Most of those threads are years old.
Using IIS7 on Windows Server 2008RSsp1, client is Win8. Both 64bit Correct printer drivers loaded on both.
Can reach the print server site: https://XX.XX.XX.XX:XX/Printers/printername/.printer
But when i try and connect using the link under Printer Actions I get the following error
Printer Installation Failed
Has this ever been fixed and I'm missing it somehow?
The printer name is invalid.

Thanks for the reply but none of that has helped. When I go to Connect using Basic Auth. And a self signed SSL. I still get:
Printer Installation Failed
The printer name is invalid.I've tried:https://servername/Printers/printersharename/.printer
https://00.00.00.00/Printers/printername/.printer
I have even tried this through the Add a Printer under Windows. In all my research I have yet to find a peson having the same problems find a solution.
