Hello, I am having the same problem. Did you solve it?

When using content() method you can specify the content type with the 2nd parameter. Depending on your used driver you can find the available content types in Printing/Drivers//ContentType.php PS: Default contentType goes to PDF.

Example hardcoded:

Printing::newPrintTask()
		->printer($printerId)
		->content($text, 'text/plain')
		->send();

or in my case loading with a different name:

use Rawilk\Printing\Drivers\Cups\ContentType as PrintingCUPSContentType;
Printing::newPrintTask()
        ->printer($printerId)
        ->content($text, PrintingCUPSContentType::TEXT)
        ->send();

I can't see anything from your code that would be preventing it from working. If your PrintNode account (if you're using that driver) is receiving the job, then it should be working properly.
