The local hub shares that order with Counter 1's Orders list. Fire the Kay O Tea on Counter 2 only after the same order appears there. In a paired store, Counter 1 is the print server. Configure the kitchen printer there, and verify the real Kay O Tea before service. Cloud sync still runs separately on each laptop. Keep Counter 1 running for live sharing and printing. If Counter 1 restarts, create a new code and pair Counter 2 again.

On Counter 1, unlock as an owner and open Settings, then Printers & KDS. With the USB cable connected and paper ready, select Detect printers. The scan finds RONGTA USB Receipt Printer.
