Description
Hello!
Quick question for you. My thermal printer (ZJ-58) is attached to a rasp via USB. I'm looking to run a script from a different machine that generates the print job. Currently, I've got a script written in PHP that makes use of [this fantastic package from mike42](https://github.com/mike42/escpos-php) - the package includes a CUPS adaptor and it works pretty well.
If I were to rewrite my existing setup with `node-escpos`, would I have to write a new custom CUPS adaptor or can you recommend an alternative? :-)
Thanks!
Tom

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by reviewing node-escpos's documented printer transports and the CUPS adaptor in mike42/escpos-php; done would be determining whether an existing Node-compatible path supports the remote thermal-printer setup or whether a new adaptor would be needed.
