Getting Started with PrinterMon (Draft)
What you will do
This guide takes a fresh PrinterMon install from zero to a printer you can monitor and control. The whole process takes 5 to 10 minutes if Docker is already installed.
1. Install PrinterMon on your host
Follow the Install PrinterMon on Linux snippet. The result is a running PrinterMon container on port 8888.
2. Create a PrinterMon.com account
Optional but recommended. An account is required for remote access, multi-user setups, and paid features. See Create your PrinterMon.com Account.
3. Connect your node to the account
From PrinterMon's Settings page, sign in with your PrinterMon.com credentials. The node links to your organization. See Connect Your Printermon Node To Your Organization.
4. Add printers
Use Network Scan, IP Scan, or Manual Entry. See Add Printers to Printermon.
5. Start a print
Upload a file and start your first job from the dashboard. See Starting a Print from the Dashboard.
