Aha.  Good to know.

Note, there is plenty of dialing home going on in prusa-slicer, even
though it apparently did not happen when pressing 'OK' in this dialog.

Visiting the configuration wizard cause a connection to be tried to
preset-repo-api.prusa3d.com and account.prusa3d.com, and selecting the
Printable tab tries a connection to www.printables.com.  And trying to
configure without an online source or a offline file of some kind
selected block further configuration.

Thanks.  Perhaps later, I just left the slicer unused for noe.  Was just
going to test if it could be used with Bambu X1, and could not find a
working recipe for it.  I will stick to Cura and Ultimaker 2+ for now.
