Getting Started Video

To use WolfPrint, your device must be connected to the campus network.

Installation and Configuration

macOS Installation Video

To install the WolfPrint Printers and use Mobility Print from your macOS device, you will need to download and run a custom file.

  1. Download the installer from go.ncsu.edu/mobility-print-client-mac
  2. A disk image (.dmg) will download that contains the installer file; do not rename the disk image. The name points the installer to the correct server for Mobility print.
  3. Open the downloaded disk image; it will contain the installer package: PaperCut Mobility print Client.pkg
  4. Double-click on the PaperCut Mobility Print Client.pkg installer and follow the default options in the install wizard.

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. When the installation is complete, verify the 4 FollowMe printers are available in the Printers & Scanners folder.

After you have added the Mobility Print printers to your device, follow these 3 easy steps to print!

 

Step 1. Send your print job to a WolfPrint virtual printer.

Step 2. Find a WolfPrint physical printer.

To locate a physical WolfPrint printer, visit go.ncsu.edu/printers

  • If you send a print job to the WolfPrint-BlackandWhite virtual queue, find a Black and White OR Color printer.
  • If you send a print job to the WolfPrint-Color virtual queue, find a Color printer.
  • If you send a print job to either of the WolfPrint-11x17 virtual queues, find a model C840dn printer.

Step 3. Confirm and release your print job.

Complete this step within 12 hours, or your print job will be automatically removed from the system.

  • Swipe your WolfPack One Card/NCSU ID in the card reader attached to the printer.
    • Or manually enter your Unity ID and password at the control panel. 
    • Or scan the QR code with your phone's camera for "touch-free" print release.

 

  • Follow the on-screen prompts at the control panel to release your print job. 
    • Important! After you select the print job to be released, choose an account to charge it to. 
    • If you have access to a Shared Account, select the account number from the list shown.
    • If no account numbers are listed and you see a message "No results found", tap "Use Personal Account".
