Hello. I have a problem since day one. I have an Ender 5 Pro with Cura 4.12.0. My problem existed on earlier version of Cura. I tried Version 5 but it crashes instantly. The problem. When slicing a design the Print to USB option does not show. I have to power every thing off and on about 15 times until the printer mysteriously shows up. MY Windows 10 PC shows the printer on COM3. If i unplug and plug in the USB the print head does a clicking indicating it saw the event. The printer is always COM3. I have tested three USB cables. I can't print with the flash drive because the socket has something jammed in it. My solution is to never power off the PC or unplug the USB once it works. I can power off the print power switch and then power on tomorrow and it still works. But if the power is off and the cable removed im sunk and it does not work again. Any one have any guesses? Thanks.

Hello. I have a puzzling problem. After printing I power off the Ender 5 to cut the fan noise. Next day i power on the printer and Cura does not see USB Printing as an option. I can close and open Cura and power off/on the printer in multiple combinations and USB printing is not available. Then randomly suddenly USB printing returns. In the marketing place USB printing is always on, nothing changes except the printer power off. I can see that this makes the comport go away. But when I power the printer on Com5 returns as it was when it was printing. I have Cura 4.12.0
