Disabling the Print Dialogue Box Within Google Chrome
To disable the print dialog box when printing a receipt, you will need to set up kiosk printing within Google Chrome. If you plan on printing from other web pages other than Shopfront then this setting is not advised.
Note; Please ensure that the latest version of Chrome is installed. Refer to Do I have the latest version of Chrome installed?

Configure Chrome Shortcut
Once the Chrome printing settings are configured we can modify the Shopfront shortcut on your desktop to default to kiosk printing.
- Right-click your Google Chrome or Shopfront icon found on your desktop
