Kysmiley 0 Posted August 18, 2008 I am begging to get very frustrated with getting my laserpoint to cut. I still get the message can not open output device. I have removed and reinstalled the signblazer software but there is no way that I see to install the cutter drivers. I am using USB have the correct cutter and usb com port selected but I still get that nasty message. Pat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BannerJohn 1,324 Posted August 18, 2008 I have seen this problem many times. 99% of the time,there is nothing wrong with the cutter. Send a PM to KenImes.He is tech support and can walk you through the proper setup. The problem is communication between the computer and cutter. It is possible that there is a mechanical problem with the cutter. Does it make a test cut directly from the cutter itself? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kysmiley 0 Posted August 18, 2008 Yes it does a test cut. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

haumana 1,221 Posted August 18, 2008 You can try selecting PCut instead of LP. When I bought my LP there was no LP option. Ken told me to use the PCut and I've been a happy camper since. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kysmiley 0 Posted August 19, 2008 I will try that in the morning. It worked before when i selected LP but not now. Pat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kysmiley 0 Posted August 19, 2008 Excuse me, but thats the problem it worked fine two weeks ago and now i cant get it to cut anything. No matter what I do or what is suggested. Would you not be upset if this were happening to you and you could not get it working. I'm not toally stupid. Pat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest fivestar Posted August 19, 2008 Can you post a screenshot of your device manager? Is there any conflicts ie. yellow exclamation points in there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeCamaro 11 Posted August 19, 2008 Newbies newbies, first thing you do is replace the USB cable. Happened to me. It worked fine a few day then not working at all. Replaced the USB cable with my printer's cable and got it cutting in no time Sometimes the most stupid things solve the problems. Its like when sometimes I think Im finishing my beers too fast, then I realize I just need to flip my cup up. j/k, but seriously, try a new USB cable. Could be that.

Guest fivestar Posted August 19, 2008 Damn it Joe, I was waiting to see if there was any conflicts before I recommended a new cable. Now you go and steal all the glory. ??? Ky, that's what I would try is a new cable. Even though this post is too late, damn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
