Thanks Stefan. I think I've got octoprint working again. But its obviously not a multiple printer friendly since the output port it will use is not in the printer profile, but in main. I've got 2 rock64's, but not a monitor/keyboard/mouse switcher. So I could setup a 2nd rock64 if I had room for the extra keyboard, monitor and mouse. Or a kvm switch.What sort of hoops would I have to take a running swan dive thru to have cura, on this machine, directly drive /sshnet/rock64/dev/ttyACM0, my Prusa MK3S+ printer? I'm already logged into it over my local net twice and it would sure save me a lot of sneakernetting to get a design from OpenSCAD, thru cura to slice it ad into printed PETG+CF on its build plate.You might be able to get this working using `socat` or maybe `ser2net`, but I don't know enough about such printers to be sure. I suspect that the possible timing issues introduced by a network connection might be problematic. I suspect that the command that actively drives the ttyACM0 device will be happier if it can live on your rock64 machine.I mean what good is all this networking if it can't be used?Usually I do things like `ssh <host> printcmd` to save myself from having to go through that kind of healthy physical exercise.

I'm closer to having the ender5plus working as the printrun kit's pronsole, which doesn't need the gui, connects to and has configured the Ender5plus now, so now I need to make a bass ackwards prox switch act like a BLTouch. So if I setup a 2nd rock64 with octoprint, and get the bed leveling working on the Ender5plus, I'll be in hog heaven. Then I can use
mc to copy cura's output to the correct rock64 for an automatic print. So I'm off to find a kvm switch.
