Unable to install from NPM

[roicp]

Hi,

I just started a brand new project using npm init -y and tried to add the printer package using npm install printer, but I always get the same error non matter what I try.

npm WARN deprecated har-validator@5.1.5: this library is no longer supported

I tried to

npm install printer --build-from-source

npm install printer --force

npm install printer --legacy-peer-deps

Also tried build using electron-rebuild -f -w printer (electron: 10.1.5 and electron-rebuild: 2.3.2) and this time I got a "not valid win32 application"

My project.json looks like this

{
  "name": "teste-printer",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "rebuild-node-printer": "electron-rebuild -f -w printer"
  },
  "keywords": [],
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "devDependencies": {
    "electron": "^10.1.5",
    "electron-rebuild": "^2.3.2"
  }
}

I'm running Windows 10 (build 19042) with NodeJS 15.1.0, NPM 7.0.8 and Python 3.8.0

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I should proceed to solve the problem?

Thanks in advance
