Topic: Solidworks Print 3d option

has anyone tried this? I cant seem to get it to recognize my printer. before updating it showed in windows under my "devices and printers" section as UNSPECIFIED and showed its com port. now after the latest drivers installed it shows under the printers section and even has an icon of a 3d printer.

since im using windows 8.1 its using the windows driver, which would stand to reason other programs could see it as a printer.

I haven't hacked the printer and have never reset a cartridge.

any thoughts?

Re: Solidworks Print 3d option

Definitely not going to work with stock firmware, may not even work with repeteir. Just export your model to .stl and slice it, it will only take a few more seconds and it will actually print.
