| | Re: The printer name is invalid - Connect to internet printer I hit this when protected mode is forced On by our domain policy. You can add the printer using Add Priner when you run As administrator. You need to right click on Add Printer in the printers folder to select Run as. Get the properties from the printer wed page for Network Name: http://server/printers/printshare/.printer Launch Add Printer as admin, Network printer, Not listed this will bring up the next page with the connect to edit box. Paste your information http://server/printers/printshare/.printer into the box.
