    If the machine has a USB port (B type, typical of printers), what would happen if a computer is connected to the printer? Wouldn't it be possible to communicate using something like Pronterface or Octoprint (OctoPi)? At the very least, it can tell you if the board is working and the display is bad.

    I am disappointed to report that Makerware does not seem to recognize my Makerbot.
