Voron 2.4 Unable to connect to OctoPrint Error 7 (Found a workaround)

[emilm]

After many months of printing, I updated to the latest software versions and also updated to OrcaSlicer 2.3.2. I am now getting an OctoPrint Error 7 - unable to connect.

After lots of searches - I am lost on how to proceed and would greatly appreciate some help.

I don't understand why you are using Octoprint when you have Mainsail?

Thank you for the response - I guess the downside to purchasing a second-hand printer is - I have no clue. Any chance you might point me to a way to covert?

The OS for the printer is Klipper and you are running Mainsail by default. That means you just need to enter the IP address of the printer into your web browser and BOOM, full access to the printer, and all the files and config on the printer.
