Set up DNS discovery to add DNS records using Windows The commands differ depending on whether you are using Windows or BIND. If at any time during the setup you want to know exactly what DNS records are being created, take a look at Mobility Print DNS Record Examples. Mobility Print automatically generates the commands you need to run on the clientsвЂ™ DNS server (not the Mobility Print server). Step 2: Add DNS records (Windows or BIND) Note If your clients are on more than one domain, run the configuration wizard for each domain. If you have clients on multiple subnets, click Add Another then enter another IP address and netmask. Enter the IP address and netmask for one client on each subnet.Д¬. local domain or you want to restrict printer access per subnet, add the subnets:Д«.

Select your search domain dialog boxД¬lick the button for the search domain used by the clients at your organization (for example, your usersвЂ™ iPhones). The images on the right of the screen show where to find the required information for iOS, Windows, and macOS clients. This wizard guides you through configuring your DNS server to allow clients to discover printers published through Mobility Print. In the Mobility Print Admin interface, click Discovery Options.Д¬lick Configure DNS. If the clients are directed to use a different DNS service (such as Google), they wonвЂ™t be able to contact the Mobility Print server to find the printers. In most cases it displays a list of domains however, in some more complex environments your clientвЂ™s domain might not be detected and youвЂ™ll need to manually enter it.Д®nsure that the clients are directed to the DNS servers where the Mobility Print DNS entries are located. Note Mobility Print attempts to detect your organizationвЂ™s search domains. In environments that contain iOS clients, if you do not know the configured subnets and do not put reverse DNS lookups in all of the required subnets, then the iOS clients might not be able to locate the printers. It is important to understand which subnets are being used because they are required for the DNS entries that allow you to implement printer subnet filtering. Make sure you have the IP address and netmask for one device on each subnet. For example, you can publish the printers at a particular location to be available only to the clients at that location (that is, on the same subnet). If you have multiple subnets, you can use subnet filtering to limit the printers displayed to users in each subnet. Often with larger networks, multiple subnets are configured to help manage the flow of network communication. For example, a University might have several different search domains:ДЇor each search domain, you need to add DNS entries so that PaperCut NG/MF can discover its printers. Tell me more about search domains and subnetsДЄ search domain is a domain in which clients exist. the name of the search domain(s) for the clients (Android phone, Chromebook etc.), for example.Solution D: Create unique Forward Lookup Zones for each Mobility Print server.Solution C: Create Conditional Forwarders for up to 20 Mobility Print servers.Solution B: User Mobility Print with mDNS broadcast on each Mobility Print server.Solution A: Share the Find-Me print queue from one Mobility Print server.

If you need to configure multiple print servers with Windows DNS, youвЂ™ve got four solutions to choose from:

Step 2: Add DNS records (Windows or BIND).

Two Pointer (PTR) records in root DNS that connect the server to the subzoneД«._dns-sd._udp IN PTR pc-printer-discovery, lb._dns-sd._udp IN PTR pc-printer-discovery Pc-printer-discovery IN NS my-print-server Record TypeДЄ record pointing to your server running Mobility PrintДЄ delegated subzone for pc-printer-discovery that points to the A record It really is more corporate than a home setting.In summary, DNS configuration involves adding the following new DNS records into your DNS server. If you have your own DNS domain such as, put it there.

Would try .org (remember, it doesn't end with a period, still adds domains), fail, then .com, not find it, fall back to, found it, now doneД®nds with a period, no searching, just do

Would try first, not find it, then try, found it, now done. So, lets say your Search Domains list was:, If you type a name that does not end with a period, it knows it needs to add the search domains for the lookup. Using Search Domains is the mechanism to do this. But, it's a pain to type out, you want to be able to just type mymachine. These are for the mechanism for going from a machine name to a Fully Qualified Domain Name.ДNS searches can only look at a Fully Qualified Domain Name, such as.
