OIT has made it possible to print using the WolfPrint accounted printing system sans "NDPS/Pcounter or any other Novell/Client-32 dependent technologies." The steps below outline one way to configure and automate deployment of WolfPrint managed printers into a Windows based WolfTech AD managed computing lab.

  1. Add oit.ncsu.edu to DNS Suffix Search List via Group Policy (Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Network/DNS Client -> DNS Suffix Search List)
  2. Link Policy to Setup the Computing Environment (see TEX-Enable WolfPrint Accounted Printing):
    • Sets the WINS server addresses to the OIT WINS servers via Startup script (152.1.12.200, 152.1.12.201)
    • Disables the 'Point and Print Restriction' policy (User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Control Panel/Printers -> Point and Print Restrictions). This allows unity users to add printers hosted on print servers outside of the WolfTech domain (i.e. wolfprint server)
  3. Link Policy to Add the Printer (via Logon Script) (see policy TEX-Wolfprint-tx-2104-1):
    • Add the printer connection (do not use FQPN to the wolfprint server)
    • (Optional) Set the default printer

Note: The policies referenced above utilize both Startup and Logon VB Scripts to accomplish their tasks. You can download the scripts here: WolfPrint Utility Scripts
