Driver installation

  • Makale

Note

The print driver provided in the 3D printing SDK is an experimental 3D printer device driver still under development.

Driver installation instructions

To install the printer, use the following installation instructions:

  • If the 3D printer implements a Microsoft OS descriptor 3DPRINT ("MS_COMP_3DPRINT") or is one of the supported Vendor ID (VID)/Product ID (PID) combinations in the MS3DPrintUSB.inf file, follow the steps in Automatic installation of the driver via PnP section below.

  • If the 3D printer is experimental or in development, follow the steps in Install the driver manually section below to print to an existing COM port or print G-Code to file.

For information on MS_COMP_3DPRINT, see Getting started guide - Microsoft Standard Driver for 3D Printers.

For more information on OS descriptors, see Microsoft OS Descriptors for USB Devices.

Automatic installation of the driver via PnP

  1. If the device does not have a MSO descriptor or a supported hardware ID (VID/PID), add the new VID/PID combination to the MS3DPrintUSB_{architecture}\MS3DPrintUSB.inf file and restart Windows with advanced settings and driver signing disabled. This option should only be used temporarily and for development purposes.

  2. Execute these two commands from an elevated command prompt:

    pnputil -a {PathToSDK}\Bin\MS3DPrintUSB_{architecture}\MS3DPrintUSB.inf
pnputil -a {PathToSDK}\Bin\RenderFilters_{architecture}\MS3DPrinter.inf

  3. Plug in the USB serial device. A new Generic 3D Printer device should be installed under Devices and Printers.

Install the driver manually

  1. Search for printmanagement.msc in Cortana.
