What do I need to configure or do to enable the "Print" button from Pronterface?
I have a new installation, have loaded a test pattern from Pronterface, and would like to print it.
The "Print" button is greyed out. What do I need to set up, configure, or do so that Pronterface will be able to print, for now, a test pattern?

It should probably be noted that pronterface is convenient for small(up to a few hours) prints, but really not great for much longer prints. If the computer has any issues, or reboots, you have no way to resume your print. If printing from sd card you can at least attempt to resume your print.
