npm install - The module was compiled against a different Node.js version

[Slos]

Looks like this package is always being compiled against the wrong node version, what is going on?

This printer packages has been annoying me for the past 3 years, I don't know what I am doing wrong but I always have problems with this package.

Out of my 50+ dependencies this is the only one which is busting my balls, aaarrgghhhhg!

nvm use 11.2.0 Now using node v11.2.0 (npm v6.4.1) node -v v11.2.0 which node /Users/*******/.nvm/versions/node/v11.2.0/bin/node npm install node app.js Error: The module '/Users/**********/dev/zdeapp/node_modules/printer/lib/node_printer.node' was compiled against a different Node.js version using NODE_MODULE_VERSION 79. This version of Node.js requires NODE_MODULE_VERSION 67.

now trying with another node version:

sudo rm -rf node_modules/ nvm use v14.9.0 node -v v14.9.0 npm install node app.js Error: The module '/Users/filipschlosser/dev/zdeapp/node_modules/printer/lib/node_printer.node' was compiled against a different Node.js version using NODE_MODULE_VERSION 79.

I am experiencing the same problem here. I've tried all the possible solutions I found on the internet and nothing worked.

I mainly see solutions like this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46384591/node-was-compiled-against-a-different-node-js-version-using-node-module-versio

But it never works.

version 0.4.0 have been compiled against node v13.3.0 that solved the problem for me.

latest version of electron gives this problem so the solution is downgrade electron to 6.1.7 also downgrade global electron to v 6.1.7 then

./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild

If you have trouble on Windows, try:

.\node_modules.bin\electron-rebuild.cmd

then your printer will run fine
