 +==== Troubleshooting (to be updated as issues arise) ==== 
 +\\ 
 +\\ 
 +If you have issues connecting to Octoprint, look at your printer and click the connections icon (commonly called the wifi symbol), then click "Browse".  
 +\\ 
 +Your system might ask if you want to allow Orca to access the network. Say "yes" to this, and then it should work. 
 +\\ 
 +If network problems persist, please consult the current standing 3D print room manager (at the moment this is Thomas McNulty).
