🔧 Troubleshooting: Printer is not printing

Is the printer not working? Go through this checklist:

1. Check the default printer for the user — Go to Admin → Users → select the user → Default printers. Is a printer selected? Is it the correct printer? More information: Creating a user and employee
2. Check if the printer is active in CUPS — Go to https://<IP-address>:631 and check if the printer is not paused or in error state
3. Print a test page from CUPS — Maintenance → Print Test Page. Does this work? Then the printer is physically fine and the problem is in the EasyFlor settings
4. Check the printer name — The printer name in EasyFlor must exactly match the name in CUPS (watch the uppercase letters!)
5. Try a different driver — Go to Administration → Modify Printer in CUPS and try a different driver (PostScript → PCL 5e → PCL 6)
