STAR TSP100

[jayel74]

Hey,

Great library, but we cannot seem to print anything to a TSP 100 STAR printer.
Is does say the data is sended to the printer, but nothing is printed.

const ThermalPrinter = require("node-thermal-printer").printer;
const PrinterTypes = require("node-thermal-printer").types;



async function testConnection() {
    const printer = new ThermalPrinter({
        type: PrinterTypes.STAR,
        interface: "tcp://192.168.18.118",
    });

    printer.alignCenter();
    printer.println("Hello world");
    //await printer.printImage('./assets/olaii-logo-black.png')
    printer.cut();

    try {
        let execute = printer.execute()
        console.log("Print done!");
    } catch (error) {
        console.error("Print failed:", error);
    }
}

PS D:\development\node\testposprinter> node index.js Print done!

Any pointers?

Hi @jayel74 try adding port to your netowrk string. For example "tcp://192.168.18.118:9100"

Hey @Klemen1337, i've added 9100, but no go.
Nothing is printed !

Can you add await to execute function? Can you also print the printer config? power on + feed button should print default config. You can check IP and port there.

let execute = await printer.execute()

    printer.alignCenter();
    printer.println("Hello world");
    //await printer.printImage('./assets/olaii-logo-black.png')
    printer.cut();

testConnection();
