read failed, socket might closed or timeout, read ret: -1

[shameemtbitech]

I m using this Cordova-Plugin-BTPrinter and first time it's connected but after sometime it's automatically disconnected and showing this error read failed, socket might closed or timeout, read ret: -1 anybody please help me

I encountered this error in the following situations:

• Trying to use printer when not connected.
  • Have not connected yet.
  • Connection was closed in the meantime (either by printer, or native device)
• Trying to connect to the printer when already connected.
• Trying to disconnect when not connected.

Seems like this is the generic error given when the socket/streams are not ready to use. It's not a very specific error...

@shameemtbitech did u solve it? For me i can print every second time else i get the same error read failed, socket might closed or timeout, read ret: -1

i run BTPrinter.connect( , and inside i run BTPrinter.printBase64( to print

[silo]

I actually solved it. I had to run BTPrinter.disconnect every time i print

There's a way to change this error message? Some users don't quite understand what is happening...
