Description
USB interface tested and worked.
But I'm getting this error while trying to print by Network interface:
```
Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 192.168.1.119:9100
at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (node:net:1487:16) {
errno: -61,
code: 'ECONNREFUSED',
syscall: 'connect',
address: '192.168.1.119',
port: 9100
}
```
Ping to printer:
```

printer

export default netPrint;

Anyone had this problem??

Research direction
Start with the supplied escpos.Network(ip, port) call and the ECONNREFUSED connection to 192.168.1.119:9100. Reproduce the network-printing path and compare it with the working USB path; done means determining whether the failure is in the library or the printer/network endpoint.
