They recommend 2 hours, but the desks stay open until 30 minutes before departure.

Note that it is worth printing your boarding pass the night before if possible, even if you are checking bags. You aren't allowed to get your BP from a human any more, so you'll have to queue once for a machine and then again at the bag drop desk.
