AxiDraw stopped working

[Fabrice]

I’ve been using it for 10+ days that I’ve had it. Was running without issues.
Last night I unplugged it as I do at night (light and noise from it keep me up).

When I tried starting a plot today in InkScape, I got this error message when trying to lower/raise the pen:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “axidraw_control.py”, line 32, in <module>

lxml.etree.XMLSyntaxError: xmlns:ns: ‘&#38;#38;ns_ai;’ is not a valid URI, line 3, column 38

The error stays even after restarting the computer, reinstalling the axidraw controls in inkscape, and changing USB ports.
Please help me with this urgently! Thanks
