Keep in mind that /dev/ttyUSB0 is what my serial adapter shows up as.

There should be no device selected, just click plot paths and send. Once its finished, in inkcut, under device properties, set the interface to serial, the port to /dev/ttyUSB0 (that's usb zero) baud rate to match the cutter (mine was 19200). That will give the average user access to the device. They signify that everyone has the ability to read or write to ttyUSB0. The last set of rw's are what's important. dev/ttyUSB0 is owned by root, so as root, you have to go into /dev and run:Īfter that, when you run ls | grep USB, in the /dev directory, you should see:Ĭrw-rw-rw- 1 root dialout 188, 0 Dec 5 20:12 ttyUSB0 Ok, So scrap the entire idea of setting this up as a printer. Please tell me if this works for you i have done a lot of research on this and lots of people are having the same issue. I must tell you i was about to throw this cutter out the window. Properties, set interface to PRINTER then set printer to the generic printer you just set up. go into extensions, cutter/plotter then inkcut once done load inkscape select your drawing. at this point all you need to do is go into printer settings add a printer to the USB to serial port that now displays when before it didnt. plug the usb adapter into your computer then use the 9 pin serial cable from the cutter and plug it into the adapterĤ. then buy a USB to serial (9 pin) adapter.ģ. first thing you need to do is throw away your USB cable that plugs into the machine. However with linux it just was NOT working!!!!ġ. This cutter worked great with windows with both usb and serial cables. Inkscape to draw with inkcut 1.0 extension installed Yes i am a noobee to linux and vinyl cutting but i got it to work.
