Using Printing V2

From now on, you'll use the Printing V2 page instead of Printing. This page has a slightly different look compared to the older version, but you'll find that most of the functionality is exactly the same; with the exception of some efficiency improvements.


Similarly, to manage the printers connected to your account, use the Printers V2 page in the admin menu instead of Printers. From here, you can reassign printers to different locations, and configure settings for each printer and print station
