My site is in Drupal 7. Presently my home page canonical url is /node/1. I don't want Google to be confused as to what page to crawl and index ( www.twincitiespartybusmn.com, verses www.twincitiespartybusmn.com/node/1. What is the best practice in this situation? I don't want Google indexing it twice. Presently I have the page redirect configured to is "From: none To: node/1"
I just don't know what to change it to.
Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

You don't need this module or set any redirects to do what you are describing.
Just go to the Site Information page at /admin/config/system/site-information and enter node/1 into the Default front page field. Drupal will use that page as your home page and all requests for www.twincitiespartybusmn.com/node/1 will be redirected to www.twincitiespartybusmn.com/. Search engines will not index www.twincitiespartybusmn.com/node/1.

Shouldn't we at least cater for adjusting canonical url's? You may block print-pages in robots.txt but it's not always that clear cut and in some cases you may not wish to redirect.

Sorry for reopening this,

but what if I don not use a node as the front page, but the default front page? In that case the canonical link is still omitted.
Should I use drupal_add_html_head for that in my theme's front template?
