These steps needs to be implemented on the workstation for AIS Remote Printing services like IDOCS to function.

One the AIS Administration side. You will need to contact the AIS Help Desk at x66951 or by emailing helpdesk@ais.ucla.edu to ensure that they have the correct IP address for your workstation and queue name for the printer. I always make the queue name: ais (I believe the queque name is case sensitive).

To look up your IP address:
Click on the Start Menu then on Run.
Type: cmd
Then click on OK.
Type: ipconfig
Hit enter.

Your IP address should now be listed. Write it down.

Have users log into Oasis
