If you SSH in and run dmesg -w then unplug/plug the printer USB do you see changes? What are they?

Thank you Kant. I havent advanced to the point of running commands remotely. But I dont want to connect monitor mouse and keyboard to my Pi's (got more than 1) so I might learn it now.

Im looking into it right now. I read about putty but I'm on a mac so I'll try terminal, lets see. I'll get back to you as soon as I figure this out. If you would like to drop some advice please do.

Thanks.

on mac just open Terminal and run ssh USER@HOST fill in the user/host

Not so easy when its been 2 years since you last logged in and you forgot the username and you changed it from the default "pi"...had to find a solution. Found it and logged in via terminal, executed the command and voila, were back online.

Thanks Kant!!
