Changes:

  • Added a destroy function to printer to shutdown the server, unmap port and bonjour service.
  • Added support for attaching an onerror callback to the printer to catch initialization problems.

Referencing issue #17, I have made these changes, which enable the user to disable the printer without exiting the node process/closing the application. This is useful for an implementation where it's needed to make changes to the printer settings on "runtime".

Initializing a new printer without these changes would result in two possible exceptions, either the EADDRINUSE exception from node when the port/ip was already occupied. or a Bonjour exception stating that the "service name" (printer.name) was already taken.

These exceptions could not be caught by wrapping the printer setup code in a try...catch block. So I added an on('error') callback to the server, which isn't perfect at this point because it doesn't catch the bonjour/zeroconf errors, but it does the basic job.

P.S: I know these changes might not be readily mergeable, especially because of the use of a new dependency for adding support for destroying the server (This is something that would be easy to add without it). And for extending the printer object in bind.js.

Anyways, I look forward to reading your comments!
