Hi Everyone, Sorry for posting in "general" but there seems to be no specific subgroup for Printrun. I'm using skeinforge which works great but for some reason I can't install Pronterface to connect to my printer! The frustrating part is that I installed it on my old computer only weeks ago but I was robbed- now on my new computer it just isn't working. I've tried the newest versions of python and 2.7 and still nothing. I double click on "pronterface" in the printrun folder and I get nothing. I got it from the kilment github and installed all of the required programs correctly. I may not have installed pyglet 1.1.4 correctly but I have no way of knowing whether It did or not (besides the obvious...) I'm running Windows 8 if that helps. I've also tried installing the precompiled versions but they are terrible outdated by now and very glitchy for me. If anyone has any advice I would really really appreciate it as I have struggled for a long time now. Thank you! https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,423296,423296#msg-423296 Tue, 09 Jun 2026 07:56:13 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,423296,425603#msg-425603 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,423296,425603#msg-425603
If works fine as admin, please check the privilege.

Or you can install a virtual machine to try win7.]]> basicbest General Wed, 29 Oct 2014 00:55:18 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,423296,423740#msg-423740 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,423296,423740#msg-423740
My old PC ran on windows 7 so that may be it, but I am running as the administrator and the confusing part is that Skeinforge works just fine.

I tried running from the command line and I attached what I got. I feel like it has got to be somewhat obvious- also has anyone installed pyglet 1.1.4 for python 2.7.8? I'm not sure how to do it. I thought I did but if anyone could explain it quick I could check.

Thank you all again.]]> SamS General Thu, 23 Oct 2014 21:47:51 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,423296,423726#msg-423726 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,423296,423726#msg-423726 not sure how Win 8 works with this]]> Zerker General Thu, 23 Oct 2014 19:00:36 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,423296,423656#msg-423656 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,423296,423656#msg-423656 koti.kapsi.fi] (actually i see that you have)
which should be included in the ready to run downloads.
my bet is you need the py serial library [sourceforge.net]

what version of python have you downloaded? are you using the installer? i would try 2.7.8]]> jamesdanielv General Thu, 23 Oct 2014 16:41:55 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,423296,423642#msg-423642 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,423296,423642#msg-423642 isonoob General Thu, 23 Oct 2014 16:28:03 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,423296,423518#msg-423518 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,423296,423518#msg-423518
@OP - try running pronterface from the command line and see if you get any error messages.]]> Andrew Smith General Thu, 23 Oct 2014 12:02:11 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,423296,423499#msg-423499 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,423296,423499#msg-423499 isonoob General Thu, 23 Oct 2014 11:06:33 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,423296,423296#msg-423296 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,423296,423296#msg-423296
