How to print ONLY to external printer? No terminal printer?

I used to have my terminal set-up like this where all receipts would print to our external printer and NOTHING would print through the actual terminal printer, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to get that setting back.

Anyone know the steps?

Hi @sammyg. Here are the steps:

On your terminal, go to Settings -> Hardware -> Printer
Turn everything off in the “Use this printer for” section
Go back to Settings -> Hardware -> External Printers.
Click the “Create printer station” button if one is not already created.
Create a station for your network printer, and at the very least, turn on “Receipts”
Save this printer station definition.

That should give you the desired results.
