this thing fails to install, no matter what I try
npm-debug.log OS X Mojave, just installed the latest XCode, tried with node v6.X and node v11.x, this thing just keeps failing.... npm debug log file attached...
I also remember having a hard time getting this to install on debian and fedora, and it was impossible to get it going on a raspberry pi running raspbian...
I am afraid I lack to necessary knowledge/skill to fix this project so that it builds/installs without problem.
Those times when it does work, this library is really good, I'd like to keep using it...

@Slos , do you remember having to do anything in particular to get this working on node v.8 (or which specific version)? I am also on OS X Mojave and have tried on 6.11, 8.12, and 9.5 to install this for an electron application, and I get some variant of the following no matter what:

Hi Bennett,
I am not sure what I did to get it going in the end, it did quite a few things... :/
I have installed node version 8.12.0 and you need to make sure this node version is in your $PATH (I noticed when I switch node versions using nvm the path is not always updated correctly (or you need to restart the terminal to get the new $PATH to work)). I also remember reinstalling Xcode but I don't think that did anything.
I think I also installed the libcups2-dev package (or OS X equivalent) somehow (I don't remember exactly how) and also the g++ libraries.
I'm sorry if my answer is a bit vague but I was throwing everything I had at the problem and I don't know what it was that got me going in the end...
You think it would help if I zipped up my local module and send it to you?
@Slos , if you don't mind sending your local version, I would really appreciate it. I have similarly spent a bunch of hours trying different combinations of things to get this to build with no luck (and it used to work before I upgraded my OS to Mojave). My email is bennettadams46 AT gmail dot com. Thank you very much!
@bennettatoms , I've sent it via retransfer, gmail does not allow me to attach the files to an e-mail... just unzip the thing I sent you inside the node_modules directory and you should be good (this is to be used with node version 8.12.0 by the way)
Thank you, @Slos . I received the zip file, I can see that it seems to have built correctly for you in the build/Release/ directory. Unfortunately I am trying to incorporate this module in an electron application, and the packaging process for that runs the node-gyp rebuild to install printer all over again, and it of course is failing on my machine, so I am unable to deploy the application. Might need to figure a way to include the module in the build without re-running node-gyp rebuild. I appreciate your help, though!
