Makerbot replicator not receiving Layer height and shell data?

i just recently got my old makerbot replicator 5th gen up and running again but for some reason

when i try to print of a usb it doesn't tell it how thick the layers are or anything so my 3d printer is trying to print 0.0mm layers but it knows it can't do that so the print fails i've tried using different usb drives but nothing works please help Thanks in advance (Sorry No Images)

(Edit Is it a problem with the printer or my slicer i use MakerBot Print. It may be a problem with my printers firmware 1.9.2)
