Preliminary Steps

Repeat the initial access and login procedures as described for Mozilla Firefox. The process for selecting and initiating a print job before enabling automatic printing remains consistent across browsers.

Configuring Automatic Printing

Duplicate your Google Chrome shortcut on the desktop and rename the copy for ease of identification (e.g., "Chrome for Events").
