Printer Mapping without IPP?

[luckyse7en]

Is there a way to map an network printer by clicking on a webpage link? I understand that IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) will accomplish this, however I would like to be able to do this without installing IIS on my print server. Can I somehow click on a hyperlink and map a printer? I have tried to place a link directly to the "\\printserver\printername" without any success. It gives me a webpage cannot be displayed message. Thank you in advance for any info provided.

luckySe7en,

you can use printUI.dll

it even has a good help :

rundll32 printui.dll PrintUIEntry /?

put it in a batchfile and link that from the HTML (HTA) document

to get rid of the open application warning in the webpage make it an HTA

e.g. (/IN means "Install Networkprinter")

echo Installing Network Printer %1

rundll32 printui.dll PrintUIEntry /in /n%1
