Before printing – connect a printer

In Shoppa, you have the option to specify which printer and which tray you would like to use when printing various print sizes. If you do not specify a printer, Shoppa will select the “Windows default” printer. If there’s only one printer with one tray, there is no need to connect to a printer.
