But it seems like Cura wants to pull in certain Digital Factory settings. It is also duplicating each normally connected printer as a "cloud" printer as well so my list essentially has a full set of duplicates. Some features (camera) are available on the cloud if the "cloud version" is selected, yet you can't tell which on is a "normal connected" printer and which one is a "cloud" printer until you select it and then see the tiny blue and white icon at the corner of the name.

· Why do we need Digital Factory and Cura?
I get your point. I'm doing both local and remote printing so I see the utility of Digital Factory. But when I'm on site, I would LOVE to see some input in Cura, input which is available only in Digital Factory. For example, there is a warning that appears when there is a mismatch between printheads and materials. It also appears on the printer itself, its true, but for local network usage, it would be great to have that warning in Cura. Heck, it could work even remotely.
Also, you're right, the list of printers is a mess, at least please show us clearly which is which.
LE: actually there is a warning in Cura, in the Monitor tab. Just noticed it

Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.

I think I will be dropping Digital Factory asap.
