G-Code for another machine

I am just setting up the preferences for the prusa slicer and although I select the Mk3 as my printer when I try to print it I get an error code, "the G code has been setup for another printer continue"

 

What am I doing wrong?

Be sure you've selected a Mk3, Mk3s, or Mk3s+ to match your hardware in the slicer setup. Match this up against the setting in the printer menus. This is a warning message. You can disable the warning, set it to wait for a button press, or stop the print from the printer menu.

I have the MK3 selected but it is still saying I have it setup for a different printer. Is there another setting I need to do?

RE: G-Code for another machine

when I turn my printer on the Bottom line of the display says 

Prusa i3 Mk3S OK, 

does yours say 

Prusa i3 Mk3 OK,   ?

the firmware version in the printer and the slicer version, must match or you will get the warning message

alternatively you can take this line out of your Custom Gcode, Start Gcode

M862.3 P "[printer_model]" ; printer model check
and the printer will not check the model details

I have gone back to the start, made sure I have the latest mac version of Slicer downloaded the latest firmware update and got confirmation it worked, I have used the basic setup in slicer using the assistant, picking the right model Mk3 and I am still getting the gcode error!

I have set the printer off printing anyway and it seem to be working, just frustrating I am getting the error
