Not possible to add a non-networked printer to Cura any longer?


Recommended Posts

Posted · Not possible to add a non-networked printer to Cura any longer?

I intend to use my town library's Ultimaker S2+ Connect printer. The files will be accessed via USB. At home I have installed Cura. I have followed the library's instructions (and those found online) to attempt to install a non-networked printer. However, there does not seem to be ANY option to do so and thus I cannot create a project in Cura. If I attempt to open a file I am asked to install a printer... 

In these forums there is a post from Feb 2023 that shows a dropdown for adding a non-networked printer. That dropdown does not exist in the software I installed today (Jul 2024). 

 

Has Ultimaker removed the ability to add a non-networked printer? If so, that seems a pretty s**t thing to do. 

 

Anyone have any suggestions?

    I don't see a way of deleting my question above. I think I have found the solution to my problem and this can be deleted.

    @lensman - we like to leave up questions and answers for other people as most people interact with the forum using google and get their answers quickly.  If you completely empty out your post by editing it I will delete this topic but I'd prefer it if you at least gave a hint to your solution if not an actual solution.  You decide.
