Logging Into Print Node

When Print Node has downloaded enter the username and password that you set on Canary7.

Navigate to 'Printers' tab on Print Node. All the printers linked to your laptop will appear. Select the relevant printers you would like to sync into Canary7.

Syncing Printers With Canary7

After you have selected the printers you need go back to Canary7 and go to 'Print Node Account' menu. 

Click on the three red dots button and select Sync. When you click 'Sync' a job will run to bring in the printers you selected on your Print Node application.

From the 'Printer' menu on Canary7 this will load in all the printers ticked on Print Node.

The IP address column is the IP of the machine which the printer was connected to when it was synced. Therefore, one printer can be synced on many systems and will display in Canary7 as separate entries using a different IP address.

Test Printing

Once the printers have synced into Canary7 you can do a test print from 'Print Reports' Menu. 

You can see in the printers drop down all the printers that have synced into Canary7.  

The most recently synced printer is usually at the bottom of the printer drop down list.
