My shop upgraded our Edge workstation from Windows 10 to Windows 11 and the workstation is no longer communicating with the Gerber Edge LE printer. It was fine before the upgrade. I have the same hardware and cables as before the upgrade. I also have the driver roll-back whitepage pdf so we must have had a similar issue from 8 to 10. We followed the driver roll-back instructions, but it's still not communicating with the printer.
Omega Composer and GSP PLT all work great. The serial connection to the enVision plotter is fine and works properly.
Has anyone else had an issue with Windows 11 and the Edge printers?

Hey Scott, did you ever figure things out?
I haven't used my Gereber Edge for about 6 months. I'm running Omega 6.5
When I went to run a job, it's saying "bad driver". I tried re-installing the USB to Parallel drivers, but it makes no difference. Any help would be appreciated.

Parallel port still can work. It is not about Windows 10 or 11. Most of Modern computers do not have ECP printer port on PCI or isa Bus. PCI express, or automatic fast Printer ports are not supported for EDGE 2. Windows 11 does not run on my computer with ECP parallel port, But windows 10 64bit can, and managed to run Omega 2.61 on it.
Omega 5 and 6.5 run on windows 11 and use Gerber Edge 2 with Gerber USB Cable, or FX with network connection.

It might the driver in Omega. Selecting EDGE driver for Edge2 or other ways around.
What printer do you have?
Atilla
did you try rufus? you can run windows 11 on almost anything
i don't feel this is a good thing.
it's like telling you i can arrange for you to get syphilis, but give this a shot
there is also some driver certificate signing horses**t that needs to be disabled
microsoft protecting us makes me feel so safe

Never needed. and do not really like to force uncertified drivers. Old Cutters with parallel and serial. do not need driver. New ones I can manage so far.
I am happy with Windows 10. that computer has no DNS or Gateway set. It does not go to the internet, but can use local network resources. Files I or clients save to my OwnCloud will be there as well.
Clients are following upgrades slowly. Still have 2 use CASmate on Win10 32bit computers.
