Papercut Mobility print

[chekmate1984]

Hi all

 

Trying to setup Mobility print so users can print on chromebooks

 

Current setup

 

2 Hyper V hosts with replication enabled between both.

 

Have enabled Mobility print, installed on server, allowed 2 printers (follow me colour and BW to be published)

 

Under discovery options, I have configured DNS with our windows domain name and below ip address/netmask

 

10.243.204.238/255.255.252.0 (10.243.204.0)

10.243.200.8/255.255.255.252 (10.243.200.8)

 

I got the code and pasted to CMD on DNS server and seemed to went through ok.

 

Under verify DNS records I am getting Red crosses

 

One thing to note is we do have multiple VLANS/subnets but all our windows and Wi-Fi devices are all in the 10.243.204.0 network and the other one I mentioned above is server Vlan.

 

I feel I am doing something wrong in DNS but not sure what?

 

Any ideas?

Are you getting red crosses for all the DNS entries? Have you checked your DNS to make sure that the DNS entries exist? We have it set up with multiple VLANs and it's working fine for us.

Yep getting X for both vlans

 

I have checked and seem to be all added. I even tried running the CMD line again and getting errors that record already exists so thats 2 confirmations

We just used mDNS (worked first time) then changed to "Known Host" and that's worked fine as well. I could never get the DNS option to work.

Can you ping pc-mobility-print-host? If you have an A record in DNS then you should be able to.

I can ping the host no issue there

 

I have just changed to known host, deployed the app to devices but when i go to print something, i do see all printers there but not seeing the paper icon printer?

 

I can see the papercut app mobility print is deployed on the device.

 

I have only 2 printers published.

Hi all

 

what is quickest way to roll back DNS changes made yesterday?

You will need to add the ip address of the host to your Google admin panel - papercut \ mobility print documentation will guide you to where the setting is.
