Recently I made an Electron app with Nuxt for renderer process. The app is for a local pizza place, it polls the existing wordpress app endpoint for new orders and prints new orders on a POS printer (bixolon-srp350-plus) whenever there is a new order. The app uses built-in electron webContents.print() method to print a simple page window which represents the order slip (address, contact info, order specifics, etc).
everything was working fine until one day the printer driver went missing, no idea how. I reinstalled the driver and since then my print output comes out in garbled hieroglyphics and the printer beeps (incorrect file format i guess). I cannot even print a test page from Windows Control Panel.
The app is running on win7 32bit, the printer is connected with usb/usb interface.
I've tried: reinstalling the driver, changing paper settings, changing font size in my order page to a lower value(it printed "fine" with font-size:2px obviously the text was unreadable), in printer properties/advanced i've tried enabling printing directly to printer.
Also, there was an earlier app written in C# which had a bloated file issue or something which caused it to crash every once in a while. So my guess is that the person who wrote it also set up the printer which made my app work as well, alas i have no way of getting hold of that person.
Many thanks in advance, hope somebody had some related issues, Cheers!
