I wrote the doc and sent it to him but he has not responded in a couple of weeks. Rather than wait any longer for him to post it on his website I am going to put the link here. If he does respond at some point then I will update this post with the most up-to-date link.

Please let me know if any questions or feedback.

PxT wrote:When you connect to the printer for the first time after it has been powered up you should see it say "Connected" along with the firmware version and some other text in the console area on the right side. I'm not near my printer right now so I can't provide a screenshot. Maybe someone else can help with that.

Macintosh users:
• Download the customized Arduino software from http://printrbot.com/support/instructions-guides/ and copy it to your /Applications folder.
Open the Arduino preferences (⌘,) and turn on the checkbox to enable “verbose output during compilation”. Close the preferences window.

So that one appears to have been removed.
