So go to help in RH and click update....

if he tries to update directly from RH, he will more than likely get V1.0.6 - same version I have. It seems to be pretty stable tho, I havent encountered any major issues with it, other than the old XP computer I am running it on doesnt have enough graphics resources to run the the filament visualizations while printing - solved simply by toggling the "eye" off

@ cf.noja47 - sit back, take a deep breath and let it out slowly - it will be ok. wink (and dont feel bad)

to get to the EEPROM screen:

at the top of RH click "Config" then select the "Marlin Firmware EEPROM Settings" - should be about the middle of the list.

If it is greyed out, and you cant actually click on it, there is a shortcut listed next to it - "Alt + E", i think...use that to open the settings screen - I had to use the shortcut the first time I tried to open it, since then it has been available to click on.

the one you want to change is the one that wardjr has highlighted in his screenshot above - top row, far right - it will probably read 138, change it to what was suggested (105) and click "Save to EEPROM"

If for some reason it doesnt work, or you get an error - dont panic. There is another way to change it.
I had a problem trying to change things directly in that screen for some reason, no idea why, so I only use it now to verify things were changed...

Disconnect RH, close it, then re-open and re-connect to clear out any errors.

The alternate method to change the steps/mm for the extruder is to type the following code in the G-Code box at the top of the manual tab in RH

M92 E105 <enter>
then
M500 <enter> to save it


You can then open the firmware settings screen to verify that the change has been made and saved.

This important and will help you a lot.
Then all you do is direct RH to the new version of Slic3r.  We can get screen shots for you if needed.
I promise that if you follow the advice of the users here you will print successfully.  We all know how frustrating it can be but your hard work will pay off.

Also what version of Slic3r are you using?

Your virtual printer issue sounds a little buggy what version of RH are you running?
And yeah your screens will be different than mine as those pictures are old but still do the same things.

so lets start over. how do I over come the "virtual" printer problem? I downloaded the driver every suggested and it worked but when I disconnected the computer or shut it down, it goes back to Virtual.
