I have developed a node API for my angular application, My node application uses node-printer package for printing pdf files generated by node, when i tried to run my application using nodemon i am getting an error

node printer.node is not a valid win32 application

The same application is working on the other machine without any error. both the machines are of X64 bit architecture.

also i have also tried to install node js 32 bit then too i am getting same error.

Hi there let me go through what's happened on my site here in 2022.

So if you're going to use npm install printer for your Electron application, you're using a native module as deemed by electron.

Since Electron has a different application binary interface (ABI) from a given Node.js binary that you used to install your printer . Therefore, we need to rebuild the native module (in this case printer) for Electron.
