Printer Connection Issues

Printer Connection Issues

Troubleshoot printer connections by following the request path from Printbuddy to the printer.

1. Confirm provider type

Use the correct provider:

• Bambu Lab for Bambu local access.
• Klipper, Fluidd, or Mainsail for Moonraker.
• PrusaLink for local PrusaLink.
• Prusa Connect for cloud/mobile API.

2. Test from the Printbuddy host

Moonraker example:

curl -v http://<printer-ip>:7125/server/info

PrusaLink example:

curl -v http://<printer-ip>/api/v1/status

Camera example:

curl -I '<camera-url>'

3. Check credentials

Redact credentials, but verify:

• Bambu access code and serial number.
• Moonraker token if enabled.
• PrusaLink credentials/secret.
• Prusa Connect token.

4. Check logs

docker compose logs --tail=200 printbuddy

Look for HTTP status codes, refused connections, DNS failures, and timeout errors.
