Easyprint doesn't talk to the printer

Printer is I3 Pro W. If I use Arduino IDE the printer responds fine. For example, if I send G28 g-code to auto home it does it. But in EasyPrint I configure the com port and the printer type. When I click Connect the printer shutters a little and refreshes the LCD display on the printer so I know it's done something, but the Control page doesn't do anything. If you click the Home button, the printer does not home. I tried clicking a few others and they don't do anything either. Below the XY buttons is says "7 Command Waiting". Also, if I select Printer Information page, it says Machine Type is unknown, Firmware and SN are blank.

EasyPrint is version 1.2.0 that I just downloaded from the SourceForge link.

In the Arduino IDE I used 250000. I couldn't find any way to set it in EasyPrint.

I looked again, more carefully this time. :oops: Anyway, I found it and changed it to 250000 and everything started working. Just finished my first print. Woohoo! Thanks for your help.
