Hello, the current ongoing project uses Electron to develop desktop client. The project has printing requirements. Currently, the desktop client supports USB and serial port printing. The customer feedback needs to support parallel port LPT communication printing. Please ask whether node escpos supports parallel port LPT communication printing? If it is possible to give an example for reference, or node escpos does not support parallel port LPT, is there an alternative? Sorry to bother you.
