Wrong error message is shown when printer name is incorrect.
printer.printFile({filename:filename,
printer: "EPSON_L220_Series", // printer name, if missing then will print to default printer
success:function(jobID){
console.log("sent to printer with ID: "+jobID);
},
error:function(err){
console.log(err);
}
});
When a wrong printer name is passed into the 'printer' argument in the snippet above, the error message printed is "Error: No such file or directory".
I'll try to spare some time to make a fix for this.
Thanks in advance for this library! :)
After reading through the C++ code, turns out that the error message comes from CUPS library itself..
int job_id = cupsPrintFile(*printer, *filename, *docname, options.getNumOptions(), options.get());
if(job_id == 0){
MY_NODE_MODULE_RETURN_VALUE(V8_STRING_NEW_UTF8(cupsLastErrorString()));
} else {
MY_NODE_MODULE_RETURN_VALUE(V8_VALUE_NEW(Number, job_id));
}
cupsLastErrorString() function is the culprit... Maybe this issue is fixed on the latest version of CUPS, though. I should check..
