   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.

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

     @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

     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.
