QZ tray printing to multiple printers

Question

I have been trying to print to multiple printers with QZ tray using the examples provided here https://qz.io/wiki/2.0-Raw-Printing#promise-loop but I am getting an error saying TypeError: Cannot read property 'sendData' of null

I have rsvp-3.1.0.min.js, sha-256.min.js and qz-tray.js included. I use the exact same code provided by the example but obviously changed the printers names to the ones I have installed.

Everything works fine if I try to print to each printer separately (the default way of doing it)

Any idea of what could be wrong or if I am missing a library or something?

Thank you

This is the full error message on Safari:

Answer 1

So I found the problem and it was my own mistake, I forgot to initiate QZ tray, the script works perfectly, tested sending a Pixel job to a laser printer and a Raw job to a thermal printer.

EDIT: Solution

function promiseLoop() {
    var data = [
        "^XA\n^FO50,50^ADN,36,20^FDPRINT 1 ^FS\n^XZ\n",
        "^XA\n^FO50,50^ADN,36,20^FDPRINT 2 ^FS\n^XZ\n",
        "^XA\n^FO50,50^ADN,36,20^FDPRINT 3 ^FS\n^XZ\n",
        "^XA\n^FO50,50^ADN,36,20^FDPRINT 4 ^FS\n^XZ\n"
    ];
    var configs = [
        { "printer": "ZDesigner LP2844-Z" },
        { "printer": "ZDesigner LP2844-Z" },
        { "printer": "ZDesigner LP2844-Z" },
        { "printer": "ZDesigner LP2844-Z" }
    ];
    var chain = [];

    for(var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
        (function(i_) {
            //setup this chain link
            var link = function() {
                return qz.printers.find(configs[i_].printer).then(function(found) {
                    return qz.print(qz.configs.create(found), [data[i_]]);
                });
            };

            chain.push(link);
        })(i);
        //closure ensures this promise's concept of `i` doesn't change
    }

    //can be .connect or `Promise.resolve()`, etc
    var firstLink = new RSVP.Promise(function(r, e) { r(); });

    var lastLink = null;
    chain.reduce(function(sequence, link) {
        lastLink = sequence.then(link);
        return lastLink;
    }, firstLink);

    //this will be the very last link in the chain
    lastLink.catch(function(err) {
        console.error(err);
    });
}
//Always make sure you are establishing a connection before printing
qz.websocket.connect().then(promiseLoop).catch(errorHandler);
