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 automate deployment of WolfPrint managed printers into a WolfTech AD managed computing lab of Windows based workstations.

  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. Apply (copy and customize policy, download script below) TEX-Enable WolfPrint Accounted Printing Group Policy to the appropriate OU (at or above computing lab workstations container) which performs the following:
    • Sets the WINS server addresses to the OIT WINS servers via Startup script
    • 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. Apply (copy and customize policy, download scripts below) TEX-Wolfprint-tx-2104-1 group policy to the lab OU which adds the printer connection (via Logon script) and sets the default printer for the user.
