I have the same error, have you been able to solve it?

No... I suggest you step away from these libraries and use java.. With java you can copy some printing code from stackoverflow and it will work most of the time. You can then create a background service from your java program that handles the printing jobs ..

This is how I fixed it. Works fine, just some more work then expected when I put my faith in these stupid npm libraries
