       I just discovered that my label printer apparently disconnects from USB while printing. So for every label I print, there's a disconnect event, then a re-enumeration event. huh.

       @fooneWhoa, that would blow up so badly on qubes, where you have to pass a usb device to the VM where you're doing something with it, and disappearing device would need to be reconnected by you.

       @foone does it inhibit Windows making a bunch of bing-bop-boop boop-bop-bing sounds?

       @foone Probably due to power draw. A lot of modern label printers use thermal inks and heating the heads essentially leaves insufficient current to maintain other connections. I had a similar problem using a thermal printer on a raspberry pi.

       @The4thCircle that's the thing, it's got a separate power brick! so if it's a power supply problem, then they under-spec'ed their own power supply

       @foone some one found a race condition in their job queue (or the lack thereof), and this is the solution

       @foone worst case it's bit-banging the USB and cant do that while also controlling the thermal head 🙂

       @foone How old is the printer and power supply? Probably electrolytic capacitors which lost their capacity when made between 2005-2015.

       @foone Finally a device that knows that multi-tasking is bad for you and concentrates on doing just one thing at a time. Commendable.

       @foone when you have trust issues and the RTS/CTS handshake is not enough for you.
