Printer manufacturers have not yet updated the web services on their printers to use https.
How can I connect to a remote printer when the URL is forced to https?
Using Edge version 125.0.2535.92
Hi @VinceV2022 ,
Do you mean all your HTTP sites will be automatically changed to HTTPS? Or does it only apply to the remote printer?
Hi,
I just tested with same version of Edge and had no problems connecting to printer and other websites that still use http. I entered http://<ip address> when testing printer and http://website in browser location box.

Thanks.

I tried that (again) and the url was re-written to https://10.21.1.10
Page returned:
The connection for this site is not secure
10.21.1.10 uses an unsupported protocol.
ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH
As a test, please enter below url and see if it works for you:
http://vincehttp.azurewebsites.net
@VinceV2022 Please manually enter the url I posted above and test to see if it displays the site as shown. I forgot that Q & A doesn't allow people to post http links.
Based on your error I'm thinking it may be a problem with the specific printer you are attempting to connect to. It may be redirecting to https, but then it doesn't have a compatible cypher.
@VinceV2022 Any update?
Sorry, been a crazy couple of days...
The test you provided worked as you predicted.
It's definitely an issue with the printer. I suspect the device has been moved and received a new IP address.
Thank you!!!
when the URL is forced to https?
Yes, Edge force the usage of https ... when you don't explicit enter http for the Url; then it works.
