Problem Connecting Repetier Host to Printer
Windows 10
Downloaded Repetier Host for the first time ~ 12/2/2018.
I do not understand how to do make this work. I'm very new with Repetier Host, 1 week. I've used the SD card to print and now wish to use the USB port to print. I have configured the Printer Settings.
It does not detect the Maker Select 3D V2 printer. Do I need to install a driver? If so how is this done?

Preview is undependent from connection. It just shows the sliced model and can always be selected. Manual control buttons are not selectable if no real connection is there. E.g. connected with server but server not having a printer connection.
The process I followed to get the local Host-Repetier printer serial port working:
Connect serial port to printer and power on your printer if not already running
In browser window find "deactivate printer" and click it. This will result in a browser message "Connection Lost"
In the Repetier-Host "Server" drop down menu select "Stop Local Server"
Then make sure in Repetier-Host "Printer Settings" to select the printer profile for your printer (if not done already fill it in now), press okay
Then close Repetier-Host program and start it again.
The manual control should now read "Idle" (not Disconnected)
