Receipt thermal printer in Electron
I need to find a way of printing receipts in javascript from Electron. I already tried QZ-TRAY but it doesn't work because of Electron. I also tried node-thermal-printer but it also never worked for me. Does anybody here know how you can print receipts without asking the user in javascript (Electron)?

The RSVP promises are enabled by default, but native JS promises are supported via:
qz.api.setPromiseType(resolver => new Promise(resolver));
A more comprehensive example:
// Install dependencies:
/*
npm install qz-tray js-sha256
*/
// Provide API overrides and start talking to QZ Tray:
import * as qz from 'qz-tray';
import sha256 from 'js-sha256';
qz.api.setSha256Type(data => sha256(data));
qz.api.setPromiseType(resolver => new Promise(resolver));
qz.websocket.connect()
.then(qz.printers.getDefault)
.then(printer => console.log("The default printer is: " + printer))
.then(qz.websocket.disconnect)
.catch(err => console.error(err));
