Originally assigned to: @maziggy on GitHub.

Problem or Use Case

I can see that there is a virtual printer functionality which can be used in the Bambustudio/Orcaslicer. According to the docs, it does not really print but only archive the print jobs. How ever, if I want to use Bambustudio/Orcaslicer together with Bambuddy to print directly/instantly, how does this need to set it up?

Until now I used Bambuddy (docker container) in parallel to Bambustudio/Orcaslicer how ever this caused connecting issues in Bambustudio/Orcaslicer.

Proposed Solution

Virtual printer should support direct printing or Bambuddy and Bambustudio/Orcaslicer should be able to access the printer in parallel (I guess this is technically not possible).
