Before going further, please read the information about DesignPRINT.
There are nearly 30 public printers in the College of Design Information Technology Labs and Clusters. As of November 2008, these printers use the DesignPRINT system. This page describes how to add printers to a personal (non-lab) Windows computer.
If you are using a Macintosh computer, STOP HERE and go to DesignPRINT-Adding Printers for Mac 10.5.
Using the steps below will add all of the College of Design IT Lab and Cluster Printers to your wndows computer automatically.
This will only work from on campus.
Make sure you are connected to the campus network (Use the "ncsu" network if you're wireless, not "ncsu-guest").
Click here to download the printeradd.bat file. (This file is also located on ClassStore in the folder Information Technology>Public>Printer Installers>Windows.)
Double click the file that was downloaded. It is named printeradd.bat.
When prompted, enter your Unity ID and password. (Be sure to put WOLFTECH\ in front your Unity ID or your authentication will not work.)
No driver installation is necessary.
That's it. The printers will now be listed in your print dialog boxes and your Printers and Faxes Control Panel.
As we move further along, we hope to have print jobs deduct quota automatically as you print and have a way for you to buy DesignPRINT quota online using a credit card. We're still in the early stages of the system. In the meantime, please purchase sufficient Unity Print Quota to cover your DesignPRINT use.
If you have trouble, please contact the College of Design IT staff in Brooks 202-204 for help. If you have a laptop you need help with, bring it with you. You can also send an email to design_help@ncsu.edu with specific information about your problem.
Happy Printing!
