We used PaperCut MF in my previous workplace as well and we were satisfied with it. When we first implemented (summer 2016), we also used Presto to handle the DNS. I'm a bit fuzzy on the details at this point but that was flakey (biggest issue being print jobs not getting cleared from the Presto queue after being passed on to PaperCut and filling up the server's disk), so as soon as PaperCut released their own solution (Project Banksia), we implemented it and it proved much more reliable. I believe it's built in to newer PaperCut releases. As I recall, mDNS did still need to be enabled on the WLC.
We had PaperCut set to advertise a single printer, then the user logged in to the nearest printer/copier to release the job. -----Original Message----- From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU] On Behalf Of Christina Klam Sent: Thursday, February 1, 2018 1:18 PM To: WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Printing to a wired printer from wireless Max, I will add that to our list of things to test! Looking at their website, it appears that it can use DNS (and not just mDNS). If so, that would solve one of key issues I foresee.
