DSS Testing Stations: Configuration & Setup

Overview

The Disability Support Services (DSS) office uses these 5 stations for student exams. Students log in with their own credentials but must be able to print to the department’s Konica Bizhub.

  • Station Hostnames: MCC-155-01 through MCC-155-05

  • Location/OU: Lab OU on authenticated ports.

  • Network: Assigned to the FacStaff IP range to allow communication with the DSS Bizhub.

Software Requirements

  • Premier Literacy 18: Located at \\cts-fs1\dml\Windows\Accessibility Suite\Premier Literacy 18.

  • Dependency: Requires .NET Framework 3.5 to be enabled/installed.

  • Base Image: Use the "DSS Image" created by Jon Goodsell (listed in the MEM image flow).

Printer Installation (System-Wide)

Because students use unique accounts, the printer must be mapped via LPR to ensure it is available for all users on the machine.

Step 1: Enable LPR Port Monitor

  1. Open Control Panel > Programs and Features.

  2. Select Turn Windows features on or off.

  3. Expand Print and Document Services.

  4. Check LPR Port Monitor (Note: LPD Print Service is generally only needed if the PC is acting as a print server but can be enabled if the image requires it).

  5. Click OK and restart if prompted.

Step 2: Add the LPR Printer

  1. Go to Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Printers & scanners.

  2. Select Add device > Add manually.

  3. Select Add a local printer or network printer with manual settings and click Next.

  4. Select Create a new port and choose LPR Port from the dropdown.

  5. Configure Port:

    • Name or address of server: print-central

    • Name of printer or print queue: dss-biz224e

  6. Driver Selection: Use the Konica Bizhub Universal Driver.

    • Note: After installation, manually set the "Model" to Bizhub 224e in the Printer Properties.

  7. Printer Name: DSS Konica Bizhub Copier 224e

Administration Notes

  • Collaborators: Nicole, Jon F., Patrick, Jon G. and Ed.

  • Logic: The LPR/LPD method was chosen specifically to bypass the limitations of mapping per-user printers in a lab environment where students lack permissions to add their own devices.

Quick Feedback & Suggestions

  • Port Check: Usually, you only need the LPR Port Monitor (the client side) to send jobs. You might test if you can leave "LPD Print Service" unchecked to minimize active services on the stations.
