Printer Browse List Not in Alphabetical Order
Hi all, Since we introduced Windows 7 into our network we have had problems with the alphabetizing of the printers. I found this article but it refers to Windows NT. support.microsoft.com/kb/154475 I have also found others with similiar problems over the net but with no answers. We have a Windows 2008 R2 standard print server with 31 printers installed. Not all users have every printer, it's mostly controlled by department but a few of them have all the printers and before they changed from XP to Windows 7 they would alpha sort. From the information on the printers I couldn't work out any pattern it was following to sort them. It seems fairly random but it has to be getting it from somewhere. This has been frustraing our users for awhile so any help anyone could provide would be fantastic. If you require further details please let me know. Thank you, Melissa

Hi, The Internet Printing role service in Windows Server 2008 R2 creates a Web site hosted by Internet Information Services (IIS). This Web site enables users to: 1. Manage print jobs on the server. 2. Use a Web browser to connect and print to shared printers on this server by using the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP). (Users must have Internet Printing Client installed.) This issue can be caused by the code function to sort the name in order by default on Windows 2008 R2 server IIS webpage was not sorting it properly. Due to it is related to the Windows Server and IIS, in order to get the answer effectively, it is recommended to submit a new question in Windows Server Forums. The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us.
