Further notes

nice, very similar to the unregistered NetworkPrinting plugin. I noticed that plugin uses a octoprint.util.comm.BufferedReadlineWrapper and wonder if there's a benefit of doing so? Otherwise, this plugin seems fine to me.

Might not be a bad idea to include a screenshot.

I took a look, looks good to me from a security standpoint 👍 😄

Thanks for the quick reply.
I wasn't aware of the NetworkPrinting plugin as it's not registered and also didn't show up in Google.
Anyway, as it had its last commit 5 years ago and doesn't offer its own settings I would assert that my version does offer a little more functionality.
I did add a BufferedReadlineWrapper though as it looks like a good idea to do so indeed. Also actually passing connection parameters now.

Screenshots added. No, I don't have any bad feelings about having the RFC1918 IP used for testing in there.

Looks like you released version update, but it's not the "latest".
