First, is the laptop also running Windows?

Second, you may be able to add AxiDraw support to your copy of RoboPaint 0.95, if it is working otherwise and you have a working AxiDraw configuration file for 0.95 on your other computer. On my Windows machine, the machine configuration files are located at:
robopaint\app-2.0.0\resources\app\node_modules\cncserver\machine_types .

Within that folder, you should find files like “watercolorbot.ini” and “axidraw.ini” — you should be able to copy one of these RoboPaint 0.95 machine configuration file to the corresponding folder on your other computer to add AxiDraw support to it.

Towards getting v 2.0/2.1 working, it would be very helpful if you could post a request directly at https://github.com/evil-mad/robopaint/issues — the author of RoboPaint may be able to weigh in, and may have debugging suggestions.

Finally, is there any chance that you could skip robopaint entirely, and use our python-based software or the CLI interface instead? We do have a full-featured python library for AxiDraw that can plot SVG or use XY movement commands. If you need turtle move commands, we could probably add those pretty quickly. There’s more about this here:
