Changed from Pi zero W to pi4b external

What did you already try to solve it?
Checked my wiring for tx and rx, Also tried restoring from backup, enabled logging for connection

Additional information about your network (Hardware you are trying to connect to, hardware you are trying to connect from, router, access point, used operating systems, ...)
The weird thing is that I can see the camera streaming clearly, however i cant communicate witht he printer itself.....

Did you enable the UART in the config.txt?

I guess you want to use the pl011 UART (which disables bluetooth but is more reliable) and not the mini UART

put dtoverlay=disable-bt at the end of your config.txt

I verified and added the coding. now i get the following
Changing monitoring state from "Offline" to "Opening serial connection"
Connecting to port /dev/ttyAMA0, baudrate 115200
Changing monitoring state from "Opening serial connection" to "Error"
Changing monitoring state from "Error" to "Offline after error"
Unexpected error while connecting to serial port /dev/ttyAMA0, baudrate 115200 from hook default: SerialException: '[Errno 13] could not open port /dev/ttyAMA0: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/dev/ttyAMA0'' @ comm.py:_open_serial:3779

Ok the solution was two part. first added the line suggested by @PrintedWeezl dtoverlay=disable-bt at the end of the config.txt file.
then used putty to connect to the pi, did sudo raspi-config and followed the instructions given by @OutsourcedGuru " just go into sudo raspi-config , go to Interfaces -> Serial and answer "no", "yes" to the next two prompts." then clicked finish rebooted and it works :slight_smile:
