[Idea] Show pending printer pairing indication on PrusaLink/PrusaConnect

I noticed that while registering a printer via PrusaLink and getting redirected to Prusa Connect, if you are not logged in, you get redirected to a guest page, however when you do log on and get redirected to the dashboard, you are no longer able to finalize steps with pairing on either platforms ( PrusaLink/PrusaConnect ) as there is no button or information about the process, only generic step info at "Add New Printer" page.

The only way I was able to successfully pair the Printer together is to visit the redirect link from Chrome history, that contained the URL slugs with identifying printer UUID  & some other params and finalize there.

Therefore I think a good suggestion would be to have some form of pending indicator/button or a function that tracks if linking was successful either on PrusaLink or PrusaConnect to avoid this trouble.

Hi, they intend to fix this with an add printer again button in the PrusaLink local web interface. Hope that will be enough

I also ran into this. Thanks for the update Tojik.

In my case since I didn't have the redirect in my chrome history, I renamed /home/pi/prusa_printer_settings.ini and restarted prusa link. It went through the registration process again and this time since I was logged in, it was successful.

May I also suggest that the login page retain the original URL and redirect there after login please? This was what I expected to happen, and in that case it would be a non-issue.
