I have my printer plugged into my Mac Studio with a USB cable. It works great, everything functions. But the printer keeps going offline and won't print. To fix this I have to physically disconnect the USB plug and reconnect it. Then it works again until some time later.
It's very annoying. Is there a way to fix this?
Mac Studio, macOS 14.2
More information is required:
1) What make and model is the printer..?
2) Does it happen after the Mac Studio has gone into Automatic Computer Sleep Mode..?
3) Does the printer wake-up and connect, if manually push a button on the printer before trying to print something...?
It's a brother MFC-L3770CDW
I can also replicate the issue on a brother HL-L2340DW
Edit: The HL-L2340DW uses AirPrint though and not a direct connection to the Mac.

"3) Does the printer wake-up and connect, if manually push a button on the printer before trying to print something...? "
It wakes up but nothing prints and the print queue says waiting for printer. I have to physically unplug the HL-L2340DW from the wall for it to start working or restart the Mac. For the 3770 I have to replug the USB cable.
Do you have the latest macOS drives for the MFC-L3770CDW printer...?
Please note: that Brothers recommends using AirPrint with the MFC-L3770CDW
I'm using whatever is baked into the OS because it works like a charm and has full functionality.
AirPrint has this nasty habit of printing poor/blurry/low resolution papers while the USB connection has high quality prints.
Please note that this issue happens with the other printer using AirPrint as well so I don't see the relevance.
