Anything else?

I'm using the latest octoprint version: 1.10.1. The API key connection from Orca Slicer to octoprint is working fine, even after restarting both: the "Print" button can successfully upload gcode and start a print.

Maybe relevant: I am using two different computers over a local network.

• basement laptop is wired to the printer and runs the octoprint server
• upstairs desktop is where I run Orca Slicer and use web browser to connect to octoprint

I second this (Fedora 39 with orcaslicer appimage). Setup is basically the same as @nilesjohnson.

[jeremiahputnam]

Same here, even with an API key in Orca Slicer.

+1 same issue Linux Mint 21.3 (api key is input)

same issue here. makes the Device pane kind of pointless as it's easier to just switch back to my browser each time I want to interact with octoprint.
