    Step 1

    Automatic printer selection

    When you connect, a printer is selected automatically — the app uses your previously selected printer if available, then looks for a printer with "zebra" in the name, then falls back to your OS default printer. The selected printer will be displayed below "Current printer"

    Current printer is "Zebra 123", with "Found 3 printers" also displayed.
