Bambu Studio forgets printer and shows 'no printer' at next startup

[davinciano]

I recently switched my Bambu A1 printer to LAN Only mode but now Bambu Studio is giving me problems.

When I add the printer in Bambu Studio (using Access Code from the printer) then it works fine, but only until I close Bambu Studio.

When I later start Bambu Studio again, it has forgotten about the printer and shows “no printer”.

I must then first reconnect the printer in Studio again, which requires me to enter the Access Code again. This is getting increasingly annoying and provides a bad user experience each time again.

This appears to be a bug. Please fix it.

I have the same issue with my X1C. Also using LAN Only mode.

This seems to help:

This is possible to achieve on the latest version 1.9.3.50, at least on Windows:

Open Bambu Studio, go to Device, No Printer, and select your LAN only printer. Input its access code and make sure you can connect to it. Afterwards, close Bambu Studio.

Navigate to the following file:

“C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\BambuStudio\BambuStudio.conf”

Edit this file and search for “user_access_code”

You will find something like this:

"user_access_code": {
    "<PRINTER_ID>": "<ACCESS_CODE>"
}

Now, change the name of the field to just “access_code”, like this:

"access_code": {
    "<PRINTER_ID>": "<ACCESS_CODE>"
}

Save the file. Now, Bambu Studio will remember your printer’s access code each time it boots up.

In LAN only mode, I still get “No Printer”, but at least the printer is still listed in the dropdown and the access code does not need to be re-entered.
