Internet Printing

[techtnk]

Hello

Could anyone please help, I have a windows 2k server with IIS 5 installed and have printers shared out on the machine. I used the internet printing facility to install and manage printers across my network ie http://server_name/printers and all was well for a number of months. Now however this doesn't work and when I use the iis managment mmc I find that the folder that used to be there has gone. I,ve tried replacing the virtual directory and pointing it to the c:\winnt\web\printers folder and this brings all the files back but the icon for the virtual directory is different in the managment mmc (not a folder with a globe on it) and typing the path into the browser is still unsuccessful.

I don't know a great deal about iis and am at a loss to figure out why the printers folder has disapeared. Could anyone please help be out or give me some pointers.

Thanks
