Freeze on "loading cartoon dataset..."

Hello,

Today I have try to start this project with a raspberry pi 3B :) HDMI outuput is breaking, so i proceed only via ssh connection. I think the hardware look's good, no error during installation. But impossible de get print, picture file, or anything else. I check the logs/, every minutes a new file are created :

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   64 Jan 19 00:40 20190119-0040.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   96 Jan 19 00:41 20190119-0041.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   64 Jan 19 00:42 20190119-0042.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   64 Jan 19 00:43 20190119-0043.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   96 Jan 19 00:44 20190119-0044.log

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   64 Jan 19 00:47 20190119-0047.log

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   96 Jan 19 00:49 20190119-0049.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   64 Jan 19 00:50 20190119-0050.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   32 Jan 19 00:51 20190119-0051.log

But always same content :

INFO:loading cartoon dataset...
INFO:loading cartoon dataset...
INFO:loading cartoon dataset...

1, 2 or 3 times on each files.

LED light stays on always. No reaction when a push the button (same if I connect manually the wires ).

Somebody have an idea ? Thanks !

Additionnal info:

• I have installed Raspbian Stretch Lite version 2018-11-13.
• I use 4 batteries AA (Ikea, Alcaline at 1,5V).
• raspistill -v -o test.jpg works fine, so the camera is not the problem
• I run the print test on Tiny Printer (https://learn.adafruit.com/mini-thermal-receipt-printer/first-test), but it print only CP437... The issue is about the batteries ? (https://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=99764) It's another problem, it has no connection with logs INFO:loading cartoon dataset...
