Connect a printer to a GoDaddy smart terminal

Every GoDaddy smart terminal includes a built-in printer, but you can also connect it to an external printer with a USB, network or Bluetooth connection. Make sure to test your printer once it’s connected to make sure it’s working properly.

Note: Accessories can be connected to the GoDaddy Smart Terminal Flex via wi-fi network connection only.
  1. Turn on the network printer. Your printer should print out its IP address after a delay of 10 seconds.

    Note: If your printer does not print its IP address (or DHCP address) automatically, turn the printer off. Turn it on again and immediately hold the feed button for 2-3 seconds and the IP address should print.

  2. Tap Settings on the second page of the Smart Terminal home screen.
  3. Tap Accessory.
  4. On the Accessory Manager menu, tap Add network accessory.
  5. Tap Printer.
