USB connect but won't run the printer
My printer won't print over usb. It connects just fine but then it can't control the printer at all. When I use the SD card it works just fine. I have tried both simplfy3d and pronterface. They say then connect but they wont jog the printer, send a file, heat the bed, ect. I was working fine last week. I thought it my be a computer issue but I hooked up my laptop and it has the exact same issue. The printer is the mk3 and is only 2 weeks old. I was able to flash the latest firmware with no issues.
Any ideas?

Do you have the Internal Ras Pi, port, disabled?

No. I don't have a Ras Pie and none of my ports are disabled
Re: USB connect but won't run the printer
In S3D don't you need the machine interface on-screen to then initiate the print from the screen button after sending the file as "Begin Printing over USB" or the SD card?

No. After you prepare the part for print (slice) you have the chose to send to file or print over usb.
The weird part is it connects to the MK3 flawlessly everytime. But after it connects nothing works. The MK3 won't send or receive anything after the initial connection.

Still haven't gotten this to work but I noticed that the printer is resetting every time I connect to it.
Any ideas?
Anybody?
