Printer requires user input

SimplyPrint says my printer requires "user input" - what is this?

Some printers have firmware where it, in certain situations, can lock up and block all incoming commands - meaning SimplyPrint won't be able to tell the printer what to do.

There is a super simple fix though; just go to your printer, and press the screen-button. In all cases we know of, that's all that's needed.

Known cases where this happens

- Prusa printers

On filament runout (triggered by filament sensor)
On insert of filament
On heater timeout (when cooldown is automatically triggered after X minutes)
