No debug, and struggling to get this working

[crablab]

Has anyone had this library working recently?

I've been trying with the example code in the README, but although the IPP printer is advertised, no print jobs can be submitted. I'm also getting a blank stdout, even when setting the debug environment variable, so it's tricky to debug!

Would appreciate any suggestions from those who have this working :-)

Yes, I didn't have any problem. Are you sure that you installed it correctly? it's a bit tricky for Windows users.
I Used this code, It might be helpful. Don't forget to turn off Windows firewall for port 3000.

var fs = require('fs')
var Printer = require('ipp-printer')

var config = require('rc')('ipp-printer', {
name: 'ipp-printer', dir: process.cwd(), port: 3000
})
var printer = new Printer(config)

printer.on('job', function (job) {
console.log('[job %d] Printing document: %s', job.id, job.name)

var dir = 'C:\docs_for_print\'+printer.userId
try {
fs.mkdirSync(dir)
} catch (err) {
if (err.code !== 'EEXIST') throw err
}

var filename = 'job-' + job.id + '-' + Date.now() + '.ps' // .ps = PostScript
var file = fs.createWriteStream(dir+'\'+filename)
console.log('UserID = ', printer.userId, ' :: username = ', printer.userName)

job.on('end', function () {
console.log('[job %d] Document saved as %s', job.id, filename)
})

job.pipe(file)
})

printer.server.on('listening', function(){
console.log('Server starts at %s', printer.port)
})

I have the same problem on a Ubuntu 20.04 machine. Nodejs 16.13.
My code:

var fs = require('fs')
var Printer = require('ipp-printer')

var printer = new Printer({name: 'My Printer'})

printer.on('job', function (job) {
  console.log('[job %d] Printing document: %s', job.id, job.name)

  var filename = 'job-' + job.id + '.ps' // .ps = PostScript
  var file = fs.createWriteStream(filename)

  job.on('end', function () {
    console.log('[job %d] Document saved as %s', job.id, filename)
  })

  job.pipe(file)
})
printer.on('operation', function (op) {
  console.log(op)
})

The command I run:

export DEBUG=* && node app

The result:

ipp-printer printer "My Printer" is listening on ipp://****:41229/ +0ms
ipp-printer printer "My Printer" changed state to idle +1ms
ipp-printer advertising printer "My Printer" on network on port 41229 +0ms

I can add the printer in my system's printers and firefox detect it as a printer as well. But no job is submitted and nothing is logged when I submit a print job.

Is there any solution?
