Setting Up PrintNode for Receipt Printing

Last updated: October 19, 2026

PrintNode lets Corksy POS send receipts to a receipt printer connected to a computer. Here’s how to set it up.

1. Install PrintNode

Download it from printnode.com/download.
Install it on the computer connected to your receipt printer.
This can be any computer on site that can connect to the printer (not an iPad). It needs to stay on, online and running PrintNode whenever you print from Corksy POS.
Log in using the credentials and API key from Corksy (see “Getting your API key” below).

2. Connect your printer

Open the PrintNode app.
Go to Printers and select your printer (USB, WiFi, or network).
Once it’s detected, note the Printer ID.

3. Link it to Corksy POS

In Corksy POS, go to ☰ Menu → Settings → Printer Settings.
Choose PrintNode.
Enter your Printer ID and API key.
Run a test print.

If the printer doesn’t show up, restart the PrintNode app or reconnect the printer.

Getting your PrintNode API key

You can’t generate or view the PrintNode API key inside Corksy — it’s provided by our Hardware Support team. Email hardware@corksy.io and ask for your PrintNode credentials and API key. Save the API key, since you’ll need it in step 3.
