USB Connection....

I understand attaching the raspberry pi to the MK3S+ needs a specific type of USB cable - something to do with power passing from printer to the Pi, when its already externally powered?

Anyhow, is it OK to use the USB cable that came with the printer to connect the Pi 4B (which is powered via official Pi power adapter...)?

I always used a standard USB cable.

Yes.  Pi 4b with Prusa usb cable, for a long time.  Maybe 2 years.  Works perfectly. 

Don’t trust forum advice.
