Answer 1

Hi Leon Ohl, Marita,

You can configure IPPS printing on Windows Server 2022 Core without IIS by using the Print Server role and enabling IPP over HTTPS via PowerShell. Since Server Core doesn’t include the full IIS stack, you’ll need to approach this using PowerShell and the Print Server role.

First, ensure the Print Server role is installed by running:

powershell

Install-WindowsFeature Print-Server

Next, configure IPP over HTTPS by enabling the Internet Printing Client feature:

powershell

Install-WindowsFeature Internet-Print-Client

Then, use PowerShell to set up the necessary printer ports and security settings. You’ll need a valid SSL certificate bound to the print service to support IPPS. This can be done using netsh or certificate management tools, depending on your environment.

If you need help with scripting the full setup or binding the certificate, I’d be happy to assist further. And if this answer helped resolve your issue, feel free to hit “Accept Answer” so others can benefit too 😊.
