Hello everyone, thank you for atleast looking at this topic.

I've gotten into using ComputerCraft and came across an npaintpro disk. I used it to create an awesome logo for my friend and I's company. I have connected a printer with wired modems and cable and both have the red ring. I try to print the logo but I get:

"Printers not found!
No active printers found in proximity of this computer."

Any idea how I could set the printer as active (it's right below the advanced computer, it has ink and paper too).

Thanks for your help.

That feature doesn't actually print the image (IIRC you can't print pictures on paper anyway), but rather 3d prints using a turtle.

… and unfortunately, regular ComputerCraft printers aren't easily capable of printing "images", as such. They can only produce coloured text (that is to say, of the colour of the ink you've put in the printer!) on an always white background. ComputerCraft screens, on the other hand, are typically rigged to show images by drawing empty spaces over backgrounds of various colours.
