Printer Starting But Not Printing
I have a Prusa i3 Mk2/S that has an issue with printing. When I load a gcode file, it goes through the calibration steps and the PINDA heating with no problems, but the extruder then goes to the Home position and stays still while the LCD counts the time and print percentage. So far I've tried:
- Resetting the printer
- Reloading the gcode file
- Recalibrating the printer
None of these worked, and I haven't been able to find any information regarding this issue anywhere.

Possibly a defective SD card. Did you install the latest firmware, did a factory reset?

RE: Printer Starting But Not Printing
Is this happening with files that you slice yourself? Does this happen for files including the pre-generated Prusa samples?
Can you slice a small print, save the gcode, zip it up and attach it to a reply here? I'd like to look through the gcode to see if anything is off.

@bobstro
This is happening with all files, including the gcode samples Prusa provides. I'm trying @karl-herbert 's ideas right now. I have factory reset the printer with no success, and I'm getting a new SD card for the printer soon.
