Can't print with android pos with built-in printer

[rickizeno001]

please help me sir, i tried to use your library escpos, but when I trying print using a device android with built-in printer always fails, i'm using Android Studio (kotlin), but if I use external thermal printer it work, no issue with that

my device : GC088 details about product : https://en.szgoodchip.com/products/list_4954780.html

this is my function

fun doPrint() {
  try {
    if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(
        context,
        Manifest.permission.BLUETOOTH
      ) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED
      ) {
        ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(
          context as Activity,
          arrayOf(Manifest.permission.BLUETOOTH),
          PERMISSION_BLUETOOTH
        )
      } else {
          val bluetoothDevicesList = BluetoothConnections().list
          if (bluetoothDevicesList != null) {
            for (bluetoothConnection in bluetoothDevicesList) {
              val device = bluetoothConnection.device

              Log.i("BLUETOOTH DEVICE", device.name)

              selectedDevice=bluetoothConnection.connect()

              val deviceName = device.name
              val majorDeviceClass = device.bluetoothClass.majorDeviceClass
              val deviceClass = device.bluetoothClass.deviceClass

              Log.e("BluetoothDevice", "Name: $deviceName") // the result is : Inner printer
              Log.e("BluetoothDevice", "Major Device Class: $majorDeviceClass") // the result is : 1536
              Log.e("BluetoothDevice", "Device Class: $deviceClass") // the result is : 1536
            }
          }

          if (selectedDevice != null) {
            val printer = EscPosPrinter(selectedDevice, 203, 48f, 32)

            printer.printFormattedText(receipt)
            printer.disconnectPrinter()
          } else {
            Toast.makeText(context, "Printer Not Found!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
          }
    }
  } catch (e: java.lang.Exception) {
    Toast.makeText(context, "An unexpected error occurred: ${e.message}",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
    // the error message is : An unexpected error occurred: flush is called on null OutputStream
  }
}

You need to first enable location, then Bluetooth connection can follow, Bluetooth won't work when location is off. I'm not seeing anywhere in your code, checking location permission. After that, the checking Bluetooth permission can follow. Turn on Bluetooth connection on your device, start the discovery process, once printer is listed it can be connected to..

Maybe just in general, don't use this device. It looks like it runs on Android 5 Lollipop from 2015. For the updates, it's easier to use Table/Mobile + external Printer.
