Yes or Repitier host or Sender.py or RepSnapper or even a serial terminal.

Edit: Or add SD support on the machine and eliminate communication errors and not need to have the machine connected to a computer at all.

It may be the settings under printer in kisslicer are not correct for your machine or it may be pronterface not liking the comments in the file (try turning off comments).

I think it may be in the printer setup tab. I had to add 100 x 100 offset to x and y to center my prints.
Also either add gcode to home before printing or home each axis in pronterface before each print. Easier to make the add in kisslicer so each file already homes the axis.
