Setting up HTTP printing where on LAN can "connect" and work and on the "WAN" the connect button is missing

This is my first time settign up HTTP printing so I am very questionable as to what the problem is.  I can hit the printers locally by "http:\\server\printers" than I see the brother printer desired to be installed.  When on the LAN there is a connect button that works great and installs the printer properly.  When connecting to the server from the WAN "http:\\STATICWANIP\printes" I get all of the same functionality but the button that says "connect" is not there.  Thus, I am not able to install the printer to be used.

Facts:
- IIS is accessable from the WAN (hit the homepage or the printers interface)
- Tried Anonymous access on and off (IIS)
- Integrated Windows authentication is enabled (IIS)
- Printer has "everyone" right with full access
- works over the LAN but not the WAN  (Connect button missing)
- Tried access with a temp user with Administrative rights
- Port 80 is open and directed to the server (no other ports)
- Network printer with LAN IP address (not USB printer or LPT1)
- NEED HELP :(
