Step 2: Once the download is complete, double click on the *.msi file to start installation. When prompted, add a shortcut to your desktop.
Step 3: Once installation is complete, launch the application by clicking on the shortcut on the desktop.
Step 4: Click on printer name (e.g. Ultimaker 3), and click on Manage Printers to add another printer.
Step 5: To add a printer, click on Add in the pop up window. This will open another window in which you can select a printer among many different printers.
