Early check-in for NZ flights

[N860CR]

I'm pretty sure I know the answer... but I'm headed to AKL from SYD on Friday evening (last flight) and all going to plan I should be done in SYD by about 1pm. I can online checkin, but won't have access to a printer. Will I be ok to checkin online, go to the first desk and ask for a boarding pass (about 5 hours before the flight) and head straight to the F Lounge? I know if I have bags they limit it to 3 hours, but I should manage with cabin bags only. Anyone run into dramas having them re-print a boarding pass that early?

I've never had issues with them re-printing boarding passes at any time... I almost always do OLCI, and yet I never actually print anything out, I just rock up at the airport and ask them to print it...
