Describe the problem
I have the Virtual Printer enabled and occasionally, OctoPrint will connect to it instead of my real printer (LulzBot TAZ 6). If I want to flash the firmware on the real printer and the virtual printer is connected, the Firmware Updater prints a failure message.

The is an enhancement request to detect when the connected printer is the Virtual Printer and print a unique message instead of attempting to update its firmware and failing.
