am getting this error.. "TypeError: net.Socket is not a constructor"
I read everywhere that via browser I should just forget the TCP support.. is that true? is there any work around to be able to print via ethernet cable? if yes what to do?

Otherwise I think I can go with the usb solution witch I dont prefer.. any help please?

The issue points to examples/star_printer_index.js and the escpos/escpos-network setup; first reproduce the reported net.Socket is not a constructor error and establish whether it runs in a browser or Node.js. Done means a confirmed Ethernet-printing path is identified, or the browser limitation and supported alternative are documented.
