Printing on other languages

[nikolajocic]

Hi. Great job.

When we try to print Serbian (Eastern Europe languages CP1251, CP852, CP855. ), we got exception. We check 2 printers (with other programs it works great), and both support those CP.

Code:

bytes += generator.text('Test Print', styles: const PosStyles(align: PosAlign.center));
    bytes += generator.text('Product 1');
    bytes += generator.text('Product 2');
    bytes += generator.text('šđžčć ŠĐŽČĆ', styles: const PosStyles(codeTable: 'CP1251'));  // Latin2, Eastern Europe
    bytes += generator.text('шђжчћљњ ШЂЖЧЋЉЊ ', styles: const PosStyles(codeTable: 'CP855')); // Cyrilic, Eastern Europe

Error:

[ERROR:flutter/lib/ui/ui_dart_state.cc(198)] Unhandled Exception: Invalid argument (string): Contains invalid characters.: "šđžčć ŠĐŽČĆ"

Use Plugin https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_esc_pos_utils with codec utf8

Hi, it's very easy to support utf8 encoding. You just have to add an entry in the default section of capabilities.json and if you don't want to bother with that, you can use my fork:

https://github.com/waqadArshad/esc_pos_utils

as:

  esc_pos_utils:
