    I used the windows native install. Everything seems to be working except a couple of things that I have no idea how to fix. I have read all the information but it is way over my head as to try to trouble shoot.
    I can not get the live camera from each machine to show up even though they are connected and I also can not get a virtual printer built. I get stuck at binding because there is no choices in the drop down box. Can someone please help

    I also have noticed that each time I print directly at the machine from the sd card it shows up in the archive with no name

      That sounds clearly like you didn't follow the install instructions.

      Check https://wiki.bambuddy.cool/getting-started/

        Look, I get it. I'm a manufacturer that also produces a product and I sell worldwide so I know what it is like dealing with millions of customers. Some of them can understand your instructions and some take forever to get it. LOL, I guess the shoes been reversed and now I'm the customer that I hate dealing with as well. I'm just not extremely versed in this deep of programming and coding to understand even though I've read it 10 times. It seems like most of the instructions are explaining how it works during the install giving you 100x more information than one is needed to actually just do the install if you do not understand the lingo.
        Running the native install with powershell, (had no idea what powershell even was or ever heard of it) it basically just took off and did it all itself only pausing a couple times for you to answer a question i had no idea how to answer so just guessed like lan access y/n, windows service y/n.
        Like I said, It all is somewhat working but a couple things and I do not know where i went wrong.

          The problem is Windows. We had multiple contributors working on it and we couldn't find a way to get one Windows install script that does work for more then 5 computers. And since I don't have any Windows knowledge at all I don't know what to do.

          Thus, we are recommending a Docker install for Windows.

            Ok, I can understand that. Is there a special procedure to completely uninstall what it put on my computer to start over with the docker install, which by the way again I have no idea what docker even is. LOL
            What country are you in? If you do not mind me asking

              Just built a first version of a native Windows installer. Can you try it?

              https://github.com/maziggy/bambuddy/releases/latest/download/bambuddy-windows-x64-setup.exe
              or

                      Link downloaded ok but once application was open it just acts really slow. I never could even get it to open the settings screen.

                        It says no printers found on the network when you try to discover printers on the network and says failed to fetch as well

                          Ok, some good news. I uninstalled all versions and reinstalled from your link again and most everything seems to be working. I connected a printer. I even was able to make the virtual printer ,but the issue now is the slicer sees the virtual printer but fails to connect to it every time i try.
