invalid ELF header

[Kekec852]

I have issue with the package.

Node version: 13.13.0 OS: Linux Mint 19.3 Cinnamon / Debian 10.3 Command: npm i -s printer

Then running:

//@ts-ignore
import printer from 'printer';

console.log(printer.getDefaultPrinterName());

I get:

user@test:/opt/test/backend$ ts-node
> //@ts-ignore
'use strict'
> import printer from 'printer';
{}
>
undefined
> console.log(printer.getDefaultPrinterName());
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1173
  return process.dlopen(module, path.toNamespacedPath(filename));
                 ^

Uncaught:

If i run npm install printer --build-from-source=node_printer --update-binary on Mint things starts to work on Debian i get error gyp: Call to 'cups-config --libs' returned exit status 0 while in binding.gyp. while trying to load binding.gyp even i cups stuff is installed.

I'm on to something as on my other installation of Debian it works using npm install printer --build-from-source=node_printer --update-binary command.

I dag a bit deeper and cups-config --libs will return error if you don't have correct setup of local!
