The campus-wide PaperCut distributed printing system (called uPrint to the users) has the concept of a remote server. Such PaperCut servers support printing from domains (kerberos realms) which are apart from the domain which manages the main PaperCut environment - managed by Retail Services. Remote client print jobs are sent to the remote server which then forwards them to the main PaperCut servers for final printing. At the University of Waterloo all of the PaperCut printing servers are members of the IST sponsored NEXUS domain. Where as all undergraduate users and computers in the School of Computer Science (SCS) are members of the school's CS-TEACHING domain - within SCS's CSCF Directory Services forest.
To support PaperCut printing within CS-TEACHING, we created a new virtual Windows Server 2012 system for the role of PaperCut remote server. This server - named lydia.student.cs.uwaterloo.ca - was made a member of the CS-TEACHING domain. On lydia the PaperCut support software (it's actually a service) was installed and made a member of the PaperCut cluster by support staff in IST.
We then created shared print queues on lydia for CS printing. These queues were defined as local TCP/IP printers utilizing TCP/IP network ports. The port names were defined as the FQDN names of the networked PaperCut printers. Our client systems in CS-TEACHING will then print (as in the File -> Print... menu option) to the shared queues on lydia (for example to \\lydia.student.cs.uwaterloo.ca\<print_queue_share_name>) as opposed to the established PaperCut server(s) in the NEXUS domain. At the present time there are six shared queues created for printing to five networked PaperCut printers wihtin the Math and Computer building (MC). Their lydia share names are as follows.
When each queue is created, a set of CREATOR-OWNER permissions are assigned to it by default. IST recommends the removal of these particular permissions on the PaperCut remote server. All of these printers are Xerox WorkCentre models and all used the same smart driver which IST provided and is also obtainable from the Xerox web site.

Under the Printers tab, select the print queue which should be set to monochrome. Remember, in the PaperCut Admin Console all CS print queues will appear twice, once for the CS-TEACHING PaperCut server (lydia) and once for the NEXUS PaperCut server (mediaprint2) . You will need to select the lydia print queue. Select the Convert to Grayscale option for All Users under the Filters and Restrictions tab for the print queue in question.
