can't you use something like this? https://octoprint.org/

i have no idea if it works with modern ones but my "old" Ender 3 plays nice with it

Octoprint is still a great piece of software that works with most printers, but it's running into a dead end where streaming G Code over the USB Serial emulation isn't fast enough on the newest generation of printers to keep them printing at their full speed.
