NFIT-Print server shut down

A few years ago we started using the new Print Server called print.uni.au.dk and it is about time everyone uses this Print Server so we can decommission the old NFIT Print Server (print.ad.nfit.au.dk)

We will permanently shut down the NFIT Print server February 1. 2018 at 8.30 am.

Most people are already using the new print server. If you cannot print after February 1. take a look at the guides here on how to install printers: http://medarbejdere.au.dk/en/administration/it/print/
