[shinnlu]

there is a error with Buffer is not defined

even i don't use qrimage in code.

    import escpos from 'escpos';
    const device  = new escpos.Network(MachineSetting.PrinterIP);
    const printer = new escpos.Printer(device, options);

    function printTest()
    {
        device.open(function(err){
            printer
            .font('a')
            .align("STAR_CA")
            .style('bu')
            .size(1, 1)
            .emphasize()
            .text('The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog')
            .cancelEmphasize()
            .align("STAR_LA")
            .text('敏捷的棕色狐狸跳过懒狗')
            .align("STAR_RA");
        });
    }

Hey @shinnlu! I'm here to help you with any bugs, questions, or contributions you might have. Let's tackle this issue together!

To resolve the "ReferenceError: Buffer is not defined" error in the qr-image and escpos modules, you need to ensure that the Buffer class is available in your environment. This error typically occurs in environments where the Buffer class is not globally available.

You can fix this by explicitly importing the Buffer class from the buffer module. Add the following import statement at the top of your file:

import { Buffer } from 'buffer';

Here is how you can modify the import section of your file:

import escpos from 'escpos';
import { Buffer } from 'buffer'; // Add this line

const device = new escpos.Network(MachineSetting.PrinterIP);
const printer = new escpos.Printer(device, options);

function printTest() {
  device.open(function(err) {
    printer
      .font('a')
      .align("STAR_CA")
      .style('bu')
      .size(1, 1)
      .emphasize()
      .text('The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog')
      .cancelEmphasize()
      .align("STAR_LA")
      .text('敏捷的棕色狐狸跳过懒狗')
      .align("STAR_RA");
  });
}

This ensures that the Buffer class is defined and available for use in your code, resolving the "ReferenceError: Buffer is not defined" error ^[1].
