Separate network settings from printer settings

Is your feature request related to a problem?

I have only have one printer, but depending on where I am I connect to it via Ethernet, WiFi, or VPN (CouldFlare Tunnel or Tailscale).

The only way I've come up to manage this is to create 4 separate printer configs with its own Physical Printer settings for Host Type, Hostname/IP, Device UI, API Key, and Cert. The screenshot should make it more obvious. This is kinda a pain since that means if I want to tweak printer settings for a single printer, I have to change those settings 4 times.

It seems to me that it'd be ideal to separate Printer Settings and Network Settings (Physical Printer).

Which printers will be beneficial to this feature?

All, Klipper

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd like to be able to change the network connection settings (Physical Printer) independently of the printer settings.

It seems to me like the little WiFi/network icon could become a dropdown between printer and bed type called "Network Connection".

Describe alternatives you've considered

I'm sure I'm somewhat of an edge case with 4, but I imagine a lot of people do have two, a local and remote/VPN setup.

I was thinking more about this. This might also be a great way to handle Bambu Connect. Treat it as a "connection" one could select to make it easy to swap between it and other connection methods without changing the physical printer.
