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)?
