How to check printer status and print logs
See if a printer is connected and check every job a printer has received.
The printer list shows if each printer is connected. The print log of each printer shows every print job and whether the job succeeded. Use both when a printer stops printing.
Check if a printer is connected
- Go to Hardware → Printers.
- Check the status next to each printer: connected or disconnected.
A disconnected printer does not receive print jobs. Check the power, the paper and the network connection of a disconnected printer.
Check the print log of a printer
The print log lists receipts, kitchen tickets and end-of-day reports sent to the printer, with the result and the time of each job.
- Go to Hardware → Printers.
- Open the printer.
- Open the Print logs tab.
- Find the job you are looking for and check the result.
If a printer does not print
- Check that the printer is turned on and has paper.
- Check that the printer shows as connected.
- Check the print log for failed jobs.
- Check that the printer is linked to the right registers and categories. See How to choose what each printer prints.
- Contact Superb support if the problem continues.
