Specified Printer Driver not present after upgrade to v2

Post by Mark_Wood » Wed 12 Sep , 2007 9:44 am

Hi,

After upgrading 2d design to v2, every time we go to output, a message appears saying: "The specified driver is not present on this machine. Please install the driver or click on Change Driver."

If you click on Change Driver and re-select the correct one, it then works fine. But the problem returns after closing down the program and returning to it later. This is happening on two PCs with different cutters attached. And it all started after upgrading to v2!

Anyone getting the same? Any ideas on how to set the printer driver perminantly?

Thanks

Mark

What cutter do you have connected?

It does sound like you have a CNC machine (or cutter / plotter) selected, which hasn't been installed.

To reset the output machine to default in Techsoft v2:
Menu: Setup -> CNC Devices
choose the default General HPGL PLotter
Menu: Setup -> Save Setup (optional ?)
OK
Menu: Setup -> Set as default (this will make the current settings active next time you run the software - eg which output device is selected)
