To use WolfPrint, your device must be connected to the campus network. If you’re off campus, establish a secure connection to the NCSU VPN service before trying to use the WolfPrint service.
PaperCut does not support Mobility Print on Linux, so there is no Mobility Print installer, however we have come up with this workaround to access the WolfPrint printers through the Mobility Print server. Printing to Mobility Print uses the IPP protocol, and makes use of IPP everywhere for driverless printing. This requires CUPS which is the standard print system used by most modern Linux distributions. The method of verifying, installing, or updating CUPS will vary depending on the Linux distribution and package manager used by that distribution.
DNF and its predecessor YUM, are used on RedHat based Linux distributions and derivatives. The following commands can be used to make sure you have CUPS installed. These should typically be run as root or with the sudo command. The examples below use sudo. For older versions of RedHat based Linux you may need to replace "def" with "yum" in the command:
sudo dnf list cupsThe results will list installed and available versions of cups. If it shows in the Installed Packages section, CUPS is installed on your system. The below results are from a RedHat Enterprise Linux 9 system with CUPS 2.3.3op2 installed:
