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 XP 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) which enables users to add printers hosted on print servers outside of the WolfTech domain
  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.
