After installation you will be presented with several setup pages.
To set up PrusaSlicer to work with the HackLab PrusaMinis (and avoid the risk of selecting the wrong printer type be accident) do the following:
* Under the "Prusa FFF" page: Scroll down to "MINI Family" and select "0.4mm nozzle" under "Original Prusa MINI & MINI+ Input Shaper". Make sure all other printers are not selected.
* Skip through the "Prusa MSLA", "Other Vendors" and "Custom Printer" pages.
* Under "Filaments" page: make sure Generic ABS, PLA and PETG are selected. Make sure other filaments are de-selected.
* Skip though "Updates", "Downloads", "Reload from disc".
* Under the "View mode" page select "Expert mode".
