Info

Note Internet Printing can be configured through Group Policy as well as via the Internet Services Manager. If there is a conflict between the Group Policy settings and those in the Internet Service Manager, the Group Policy settings take precedence. If you remove Internet Printing via the Internet Services Manager, be sure to verify that it won't be re-enabled by either local or domain group policies. (The default Group Policy neither enables nor disables Internet Printing.) In the MMC Group Policy snap-in, click Computer Configuration, click Administrative Templates, click Printing, and then click Web-based Printing. Note Unless you have a mission-critical reason to use the .htr functionality, you should remove the .htr extension.
