At a bit of a loss on this one. It has been working but I shut down for a few says and when I came back and tired on the Octiprint I get the message below.

Did you use a 9600 baud rate before?? That's awfully slow (mine's 115200). Any intelligible responses in the terminal window?
Also, are there any entries other than AUTO in the drop down menu for the serial port?
Cheers

That's weird, given you had it working. The Pi isn't seeing the printer at all. Does the Pi run on a 3A power supply? Have you tried a different USB cable? Have you tried different power on sequences for the Pi and the printer (I recall some printers need to be turned on before or after the Pi is powered on -- forget the order, sorry)?
If those do not work, connect to your Pi via SSH and login (default username: pi, default password: raspberry). Then:- Plug the printer in.
- Run dmesg. Attach the output.
- Run lsusb. Attach the output.

The baudrate thing in OctoPrint is broken like hell. The only way to get this to work is compiling the firmware using 115200 baudrate as default in the firmware of a modern marlin version. On my other printers with stock firmware I must use AUTO. Even so it will turn to the detected baud rate, a reconnect never works for me. I always need to reset the cycle gadget back to auto mode before doing a connection.
I don´t know if this is the printers firmware mixing bits and fail to reply properly or if it is a problem with OctoPrint. 500000 is also a completely broken and non standard baud rate, which may cause additional trouble. It is far beyond requirements anyway, so if you compile your own firmware use 115200 as default to avoid the hassle in the first place.
Do not use the auto connect and save detected baud rate features as it most likely will fail on second run and you need to tune to auto again anyway.

Yes, people today assume 9600 BAUD must be too slow to do anything. Of course, that's completely wrong. For text applications (Kermit, telnet, even Pronterface) 9600 is totally OK. It was the standard rate I used for years. Heck, I used to use modems at 110 & 300 BAUD. I remember what a big deal it was for downloading files when we finally got 1200 BAUD modems (or course, right near the end of a long download someone would pick up the phone and completely wreck the download).
MarcSchuh, if you had it working with a specific USB cable, and it doesn't with a different cable, why not go back to the original, working cable, at least as a test?

Thanks Guys I got it working. I had to do things a bit backwards. I had to disconnected the USB turn off the Raspberry PI turn off the printer. Then to get it to work I had to start the printer then turn on the Raspberry PI then plug in the the USB. Go figure. lol. Now if I can just get the Anycubic Max bed leaved I would be golden. But that is another story. Thanks for all you help everyone.
