-Now, each time :guilabel:`Print` is selected in the control panel, instead of downloading a PDF, a

+The first time a linked report is selected to print, a :guilabel:`Select Printers` pop-up window

+Clear device printer cache
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+After a printer is linked to print a report, the setting is saved in a browser's cache. This means
+a user can have different devices saved in their cache for different reports, based on the device
+they use to access Odoo. It also means different users can have a report automatically printed from
+different printers, based on their preferences.
+
+To unlink a report from a printer, navigate to :menuselection:`IoT app --> Clear Selected Devices`.
+This generates a list of reports that are linked to a printer on the current device. Click the
+:guilabel:`Unlink` button next to each report to remove the link.
+
+.. important::
+   This step **only** prevents the report from automatically printing to the listed printer from
+   the current browser. The report is still :ref:`linked <iot/link-printer>` on the device, under
+   the :guilabel:`Printer Reports` tab.
