Hey everyone! Just to clarify this a little bit more, you’re able to set the default printer each of your documents can print to. For labels and packing slips, they will print in the same order and you’ll be able to control this from your label’s Document Options. You can also change the format of your packing slips as long as your label format is printing only labels by themselves.
Here’s how you can set your default printers: https://help.shipstation.com/hc/en-us/articles/206639117
Please chat in with us or email us at support@shipstation.com if you’d like help setting up your printing workflow!

WIth one click, we would like to send a 8.5x11 packing slip print job and a 4x6 label print job to two separate printers. Is there any technical reason why this can't be an option in the future? We really would like 1 - 4x6 label and 1 - 8.5x11 packing slip to pop out per shipment. As of today only the shipping labels print, and then we have to manually print out each packing slip 1 at a time and then match them up.
We can print both shipping label and packing slips with one click to the 4x6 printer if we choose that option but the packing slip is too small to read and there isn't enough room really. (full page packing slips are best)

We have this working fine using SyncStation on a Mac. We print shipping labels to the Zebra printer and all the packing slips on normal letter paper. So i'm going to retract my votes, since it is already working

I was told by support how to set this up.

In order to print your shipping label on a 4" X 6" format using a thermal printer and your packing ship on a 8.5" X 11" format using a desktop printer, you would need an application called SyncStation. It's a free application provided by us and it allows you to have the functionality of printing your label and packing slips in different locations:

Got to say this would be a great deal for us also. Nice call on that.

That's already possible if you are using Google Cloud Print.
