    Default How difficult it is to install a printer to the pathpilot computer

    I bought the Tormach computer, Easy to install a printer?

    I know nothing about Linux.

    By the way, I finally succeed in using the part counter.

    It may be possible but Ive always heard it’s best to keep it strictly a machine controller. Are you looking to print screen shots of the control or g code text files?

    G code files and any other text files from the controller, like .ini

    I would not be using the printer while the lathe is working

    Thanks for the reply

    It will depend on IF there are any drivers for your printer in LinuxMint > I did 2 printers here 1 widebed M9800 HP and a Canon MG2522. Both work great. I even run them across the network share.

    IF there are no matching drivers you CAN look for them on the Linux download site. IF there are drivers for other models of teh same manf try them as they may work.
