When using the Android thermal printer Cordova plugin with USB printers, printing works correctly as long as the USB cable is not disconnected.
However, if the USB cable is unplugged and then plugged back in while the app is still running, all subsequent print attempts fail. The plugin returns an error (sometimes empty or related to USB interface claim), and the printer does not print.
If the application is fully closed and reopened, printing starts working again until the USB is disconnected once more.
