Printer Queue Time

[aargon007]

If i print a receipt when printer is off. later when printer is on and app is still running in the background then it print that receipt.

I want to remove this queue. i want to make it 30minutes , if printer is not available in that time then that request will not apply. is there any error handliing tips?

       const printPreliReport = async () => {
        const localUri = await captureRef(ref, {
            quality: 1
        });

        try {
            printReportNotification(pushToken!, t("printing_report"), body);

            await printerInstance.addQueueTask(async () => {
                await Printer.tryToConnectUntil(
                    printerInstance,
                    status => status.online.statusCode === PrinterConstants.TRUE,
                );
                await printerInstance.addFeedLine();
                await printerInstance.addImage({
                    source: { uri: localUri },
                    width: 575,
                    color: PrinterConstants.COLOR_4,
                    mode: PrinterConstants.MODE_GRAY16,
                    halftone: PrinterConstants.HALFTONE_THRESHOLD,
                    brightness: Platform.OS === 'ios' ? 0.3 : 0.1,
                });
                // Cut Paper
                await printerInstance.addCut();

                await printerInstance.sendData();
                await printerInstance.disconnect();
            });
        } catch (e) {
            await printerInstance.disconnect();
            Alert.alert("Printing failed! Please check printer connection or paper roll.")
        } finally {
            // setPrinting(false);
        }
    };

if you don't need to wait use the regular connect method instead of "tryToConnectUntil".

Also you can raise a PR for this function to allow pass timeout
