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.

  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. 
    • By default, your All Campus account will automatically be charged for your print job.
    • If you have access to a Shared Account, choose the account number after you select the print job to release.
