The problem
I was trying to use ESCPOS_2.5.2 when node-gyp start building the ( node-bluetooth ) module, warnings and errors start to pop on the console till
gyp ERR! build error
gyp ERR! stack Error: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Enterprise\MSBuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe" failed with exit code: 1

In my case there was a quick hack to get it to install
xpc-connection, not sure if it's related to your problem, but the current version of xpc does not work with anything over node 8+. See if this helps:npm install git://github.com/taoyuan/node-xpc-connection.gitwebkong commentedon Oct 23, 2019

Potential Solution:
this is what i did to make it work
initalize NPM :
npm initInstall Electron as dev dependencies :
npm i -D electron@latestSet this NPM Config :
set npm_config_target=6.0.7<- Version of electron installedset npm_config_arch=x64set npm_config_runtime=electronset npm_config_build_from_source=trueset PYTHON=C:\Users\[YourUser]\.windows-build-tools\python27\python.exeset npm_config_node_gyp=C:\Users\[YourUser]\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\node-gyp\bin\node-gyp.jsInstall the escpos package :
npm install escpos --saveRebuild electron :
npm install --save-dev electron-rebuildgrosseruser commentedon Nov 3, 2019
...after 6 days testing I have now a working configuration for escpos.
node v11.15.0
electron v5.0.11
electron-rebuild 1.8.5
escpos 2.5.2
Windows build tools: npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
Python 2.7.17

There might be more going on here, but I had a similar compilation issue and downgrading to Visual Studio 2017 fixed it
edit: I also had to downgrade to NodeJS 11

If you want for any reason to use the latest version of VS Studio and node you can check this solution #40 (comment)

I'm also running into this issue now, I think it might be a good idea to update the node-bluetooth package version to be compatible?
