Octopi Won't connect to Ender 3 Pro

Had a working Octoprint server with my Ender 3 Pro. Upgraded to BLTouch and started updating Marlin 2.1.x Bugfix and now Octoprint will not connect to printer

What is the problem?

Send: N0 M110 N0125
No answer from the printer within the connection timeout, trying another hello
Send: N0 M110 N0
125
There was a timeout while trying to connect to the printer
Changing monitoring state from "Connecting" to "Offline"
Connection closed, closing down monitor

What did you already try to solve it?

Verified connection/cable with Pronterface. Rebooted Octoprint. Tried changing baudrate in Marlin (reduce). Tried disconnecting camera (in case it was drawing too much USB power).

Have you tried running in safe mode?

YES

Just tried and it connects.

Did running in safe mode solve the problem?

Yes

Systeminfo Bundle

You can download this in OctoPrint's System Information dialog ... no bundle, no support!)

I'm guessing the next debug steps will be to undo all plugins and reinstall 1 at a time to see what is causing failure.

Well ... looking at the plugins I found virtual printer. Disabling that solved the communications problem. I do not remember adding it but I will certainly delete it!

Hello @Daniel_Hempy !

It comes in by default. Disabling is enough. You may use the thing some day.
