Bluetooth printer just prints once, stops printing, and then prints duplicates

Prerequisites

• [X ] I am running the latest version
• [X ] I checked the documentation and found no answer
• [X ] I checked to make sure that this issue has not already been filed

Expected Behavior

Print each time the button is pressed

Current Behavior

The first time app sends print command, it prints. The second time (without any change), doesn’t do anything. The next time, it prints duplicates (from the second and third time).

Steps to Reproduce

1. Just call the method multiple times.

Context

• Library version: 1.1.0
• Platform: Android.

As you can see, after scanning and connecting to the device, the print command is sent. After printing, I cancel the connection and then destroy the manager object in order to restart the object and be able to print again.

But this doesn’t happen until the third time, when it prints duplicates. It does not show errors.

Maybe I got something wrong and I can’t see it. Some help will be appreciated.

@mayniii This is how I made it. I provide the text that I want to print in an array, where each line I wish to print its an array item.

import { Buffer } from 'buffer';

const SERVICE_UUID = '000018f0-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb';    //primary service (printers)
const CHAR_UUID = '00002af1-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb';       //characteristic (write)

async print(text: array){
    await this.scanAndConnect().then(async (res: any) => {
            for (let item of text) {
                let encryptedCredentials = new Buffer(item).toString("base64");

                promises.push(res.Device.writeCharacteristicWithResponseForService(
                    SERVICE_UUID, CHAR_UUID, encryptedCredentials));
            }
            await Promise.all(promises).then(() => {
                this.manager.destroy()
            })
        }).catch(err => {return});
}

@pdlm95 can you guide me about receipt printing?
