The first step is to determine how many printers you need to install.  Each combination of chroming (black and white v color) and single or double sided requires a different printer to be defined.   Please keep in mind that the maximum number of printers Libki Print Driver can currently handle is 10.

Installation Instructions

1. Create C:\printers on your client PC if it doesn't already exist
   
2. For each printer you wish to define (up to 10), create a directory within C:\printers. (e.g. C:\printers\printer1, C:\printers\printer2, etc)
   
3. Download the print driver examples from: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1B67Bf2XtpFm4JeC_A-CP38RtBRaduaFG
   
4. There is a prerequisite step to install dotNet, which may already be on your client PC.  If so, you can skip this step.
   
5. In the directory ‘1 - printer1’, run PdfScribeInstall.msi as an administrator (while logged in as the Libki user).
   
1. You can check the config.xml within that directory to edit the Printer Name as it will appear to patrons, as well as the default color and paper size settings
   
2. Install to the default C:\Program Files\PDFScribe location
   
6. For each additional printer you wish to install, go to that numbered printer’s directory, and run Instance_Instance.bat as administrator.
   
1. Again, you can adjust the config.xml to change the Printer Name before installing, if you wish
   
2. If you need more than 6 printers, follow the pattern laid out by the previous 6 (up to 10), or ask for assistance
   
7. Edit C:\ProgramData\Libki\Libki Kiosk Management System.ini to include the following at the bottom: 
   [printers]
   Then, for each printer installed (numbered X), add the line:
   printerX="C:\\printers\\printerX"
8. Restart the PC to restart the Libki client and load the updated configuration
   

In Libki Server, you will need to configure printing in the Administration -> Settings -> Print Management area, using the following YAML template:

“somePrinter” should match the name of the printer according to Windows
