Authorizing Print Jobs in WolfPrint

Printers in the College of Design IT Labs and Clusters use the University’s WolfPrint service.

Please read the general information about printing here. For more information about WolfPrint, see go.ncsu.edu/print.

In order for your print job to process correctly, you MUST authorize your print job through go.ncsu.edu/wolfprint on the same computer before your job will print.
