Problem or Use Case

It would be really useful if some basic printer controls were available. For example, after printing in a dark colour, when switching back to a light colour the default purge often isnt enough and I need to manully load the light filament and do a manual purge.

Proposed Solution

Some basic printer functionality was included in the printer card - similar to the bambu handy app

Offering more printer controls is currently not in scope. If you need to manually purge, then you should improve your purging code ;)
