Disclaimer: I have read about this elsewhere but haven't found a solution.
Printer: Printrbot Simple Metal with heated bed
Slicer: Cura 15.04.6 (also tried Cura 3.1)
Printing software: Whatever Cura 15.04.6 comes with when printing from USB
The print goes well for the first couple layers then just stops. It stays heated, fan keeps blowing, but print has failed. Here is the error:
...

Recv: ok

Serial timeout while writing to serial port, trying again.
Unexpected error while writing serial port: SerialException: 'WriteFile failed ([Error 22] The device does not recognize the command.)' @ machineCom.py:_sendCommand:565
Changing monitoring state from 'Printing' to 'Error: SerialException: 'WriteFile failed ...'
Connection closed, closing down monitor
I have gotten this using Cura 3.1 to slice as well as Cura 15.04.6 (though the error above was using the Cura 15.04.6). I've tried using a different interface for printing, but nothing helps.
Any ideas on solving this? I feel like I am missing a small but simple detail here to making it work.
[Edit] Added printing info at top to make it a little more clear what I was using.
