Does the printer come with any software? I would be looking for a program to print SketchUp and auto cad files...... Thanks

Yes I believe that the makerware program will load Sketchupadn cad files and convert them to print files

MakerBot ships with MakerWare which is used to connect and print via MakerBot 3D printers.

The company provides a software Makerbot Makerware which can be download it for free at the company's website. In addition, I would recommend you download the open source program OpenSCAD (http://www.openscad.org/), since this program works with CAD objects. You can then export the files you generate from OpenSCAD to Makerware.

Makerware software (by makerbot) and Replicator G software (open source) both work with all replicators. You'll need to export your designs as .stl or .obj files in Sketchup for example.

It comes with a program called MakerWare that allows you to load .stl or .obj files and organize them within the print area and then print. It also allows you to preview before so you can scan your model for potential issues. Preview also gives you an estimate on the amount of time and materials.

Hi Louis! To answer your question I'm not 100% sure I have not used that feature at all, so I can't say. If you already have the epson printer and it's installed there should be a user guide / manual file that is put on your desktop so in the case you need help. Sorry I couldn't Help you out more!

Hi, There is software you install included with the printer (also downloadable on the manufacturer's site). The installer will guide you through setting up the wireless interface so that you can print over your wireless network. I'm not entirely sure that this answers your question, but I hope it helps!

Huh? Another answer says there's an extra tray in the rear of the printer for card stock. Not on my MX472. And no mention of it in the on-line tutorial. The only way mine prints is to feed them through like paper. Am I missing something?

If you mean "Can you print from it with an Android device", the answer is no. The software is Windows or Mac. Unless you're only downloading models from GradCAD, you'll need a 3D CAD program to make models. One option if Cubify (formerly Alibre/GeoMagic).

I use this program to view and move my designs. I'm lost without it. When you click on a zipped design file this program will expand the file and show the contents. From there, you can select designs to put on a flash drive. Yes, it is easy to print pictures of the designs. The software probably does more, but this is my primary use of it.

my vista 64 business has drivers for it, no need to download anything, just add printer from control panel, select it and you're done.

The printer I bought came with and install disc. My daughter took the printer to college so I do not know much more then that.

These do not come with any software, it is just the adhesive backed paper. Most programs that allow you to print (shipping labels for example) will format the output for you. This allows you to just stick the label to the box rather than tape it to the box (if you had printed on regular paper)

Sorry I don't know the answer to that question. I do print directly from AutoCAD.

Carl! I just did it... took out the color cartridge and it printed a B/W image....hey thank YOU it is good to know just for general purposes. BTW it is darn good little printer and if you can find it on sale as I did (40 bucks) also there is a vendor here that sells both cartridges for under 20 bucks including shipping...they wanted 48 bucks at Staples for the dang cartridges themselves for cryin' out loud........:>}

I think mine came with a CD but the model is several years old. I replaced it twice and already had the software installed on the laptop. You can retrieve the drivers online on the HP website and they are probably needed for the newer versions of Windows, anyway. I love this little printer, but sadly, there is a flaw eventually with the paper feeder. I end up having to gently push through each page from the tray feeder. Have had the same issue on three machines.

The software gets loaded on the local workstation and then the device prints. It does not work with other software to my knowledge. I only used the software that came with the device. It is very much like a regular printer

It comes with software installer cd that allows you to make your designs, this is a printer only it does not record or burn or cooy cds or dvds

If you go to the hp site and this specific printer, you will see in the reviews that it works just fine with AutoCAD 14. Considering most people who buy it are architects and designers, it would be kind of silly to NOT support AutoCAD.

It doesn't actually print like a printer does...you can put markers in it and it will draw whatever you program it to draw on your computer. It does have a lot of good features. I have a cricut as well and it is limited in a lot of areas that this machine will do.

I really do not know what it comes with, but usually I take out the memory chip & load it into the computer by SD card port, From the computer, most printer applications should work fine. If it comes with a micro SD, then you may want an SD adapter that usually comes with the Micro SD,, because most computers may still have a port for the regular SD.
