Answer 1

What I ended up having to do is uninstall plugman 2.0

npm remove -g plugman

Then I install plugman version 1.5.1

npm install -g [email protected]

Then I could finally add plugins to the project.

You need to specify the full plugin path, not a relative path. e.g.:

plugman -d install --platform android --project platforms\android --plugin "\full_path\of_your\plugins\PrintName"
