Trotec laser how to connect to lightburn

[Tienie66 (Jacobus van Rooyen)]

I have a Trotec speedy 100 and would like to know how to connect Lightburn to it
If I go to find my device, it does not show. In device manager it shows the laser as a printer

Hello Jacobus,

As a rule of thumb, Trotec devices are Not compatible with LightBurn.

Will my Trotec Rayjet R500 work with Lightburn software

Not at this time, at least, not directly. LightBurn does have a “Print” feature now, so using that and the print-driver that came with your laser, you could send a job to the laser from LightBurn, or any other software package that will print. To use it, you’d have to set up a ‘dummy’ device in LightBurn, and you wouldn’t be able to directly control power and speed settings from LightBurn - you’d do that from the Trotec driver when prompted.
