"G-code sliced for a different printer type, continue?"

Yesterday I removed/uninstalled Slicer.  Outgoing was 2.2.0   Reinstalled a fresh download (still says 2.2.0).  Imported a project, sliced normal.  Saved and plugged the flash into my printer.  Selected the file and message, "G-code sliced for a different printer type, continue?"  

I looked best I could at all the drop downs at the top of the Slicer screen to find something that where it might reference or allow me to choose a printer?  Nothing.  Don't remember having to choose a printer in Slicer when I first started using it many months ago.

Anyone?  Do I need to flash the printer again?  Hard to find setting?

Thanks.

RE: "G-code sliced for a different printer type, continue?"

In PrusaSlicer, if you go to Printer Settings->Custom G-code->Start G-code, you'll see lines at the top with the checks:

M862.3 P "[printer_model]" ; printer model check
M862.1 P[nozzle_diameter] ; nozzle diameter check

The printer_model check compares the printer selected in your slicer against the printer type when you print the gcode. The nozzle_diameter checks against the nozzle size you have selected from the printer menu when you print the gcode. Depending on what options you've set on the printer itself, these will either abort the print job, issue a warning, or do nothing. 

I'm the only user on my printer, so I don't find these features particularly useful. I've disabled both checks in the printer menu and have removed those lines from my startup gcode.

With all the Mk3/Mk3s/Mk3s+ variants out there now, I suspect this might get more fiddly. Short of disabling the checks, all I can suggest is to double-check the printer type you've selected in the slicer against your physical printer type.

There's also a firmware check:

M115 U3.9.2 ; tell printer latest fw version

I tend to disable that one as well. Either comment lines out by prepending a semicolon or just delete them. You'll have to create a custom printer profile to save the changes. Just hit the save button and give it a modified name.

My bad, there is was up at the top of Slicer, its an entire bar that is a drop down for you to choose a printer.  It worked and now the only message is 'there is an updated firmware available".  I'll get to that later.....

That's the M115 line. You can disable the check on the printer or comment out the line. Or update your firmware.
