PrusaSlicer Does Not Work With OctoPrint?

I've done a lot of searching, but I can not find any information here that seems to help. So, here is my problem.

I downloaded the new PrusaSlicer and updated my Mk2S with the new firmware. I use a Raspberry Pi with OctoPrint to run the printer. This has worked well since I got the printer (it was a Mk2 when I got it).

If I load a gcode file created with Slic3rPE, everything works well. If I load a gcode file created with PrusaSlicer and hit Print, OctoPrint puts the progress bar to -100% (yes, minus 100 percent) and then nothing else happens. The printer does not heat (nozzle or print bed). Like I mentioned, if I load gcode created by Slic3rPE, it works fine.

It's interesting that the start of the gcode files look the same (looked at with Notepad++).

So, what is the problem here?

As extra information, the same model prints correctly when sliced with Cura or Slic3rPE. Just not with PrusaSlicer.
