Installation of the printers in MacOS
We offer two variants for the installation of the printers. Which one is the correct one can be answered by the following question:
Do I log on to my computer with the TUHH account that I also use, for example, for mailing, Stud.IP, etc.?
Is the answer YES? Follow the instructions for personalized printing.
Is the answer NO? Follow the instructions for anonymous printing AND additionally you have to install the PaperCut client.
Explanation... [expand for more info]
The print management system receives the incoming jobs and tries to assign them to a known TUHH account. When sending the print jobs from your computer, the current user name is used. If this matches a known TUHH account, the system can clearly assign the jobs.
In order to still be able to match the local user name to a TUHH account, an additional client is necessary and a different print queue is used. Thats why we need to offer two different installation packages.
