Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I am using Roland MDX-40A CNC. The Roland MDX-40A does not appear in "Device Manager" at "Ports(COM&LPT)". The Roland MDX-40A appear in "Device Manager" at "Printers", Roland MDX-40A.

Describe the solution you'd like I would like to be able to select in Candle, Service->Settings->Connection->Port, and the available Printers also, not only COM. Then I would be able to select Roland MDX-40A. See the attached image.

Thanks!

Hello. I'm not sure this issue is related to Candle. If your machine is GRBL 1.1 compatible, there should be drivers to expose serial port. If not, Candle cannot control it.
