Hos to solve Cannot instantiate abstract class Rawilk\Printing\PrintTask?
I want some help

This is my code

use \Rawilk\Printing\PrintTask;
use \Rawilk\Printing\Receipts\ReceiptPrinter;
public function xprinter(Request $request)
{
try {
$text = (string) (new ReceiptPrinter)
->centerAlign()
->text('My heading')
->leftAlign()
->line()
->twoColumnText('Item 1', '2.00')
->twoColumnText('Item 2', '4.00')
->feed(2)
->centerAlign()
->barcode('1234')
->cut();

        $printJob= new PrintTask;
        $printJob->printer("71138085");
        $printJob->content($text);
        $printJob->send();
    } catch(Exception $e) {
        echo "Couldn't print to this printer: " . $e -> getMessage() . "\n";
    }
}

You're trying to create a new instance of an abstract class, which you can't do in PHP. You should be using the facades instead for creating a new print job.

Please refer to the docs for more information.

Thank, this code past on my local server but on my online webserver, i have this error message
Target [Rawilk\Printing\Contracts\Driver] is not instantiable while building [Rawilk\Printing\Printing].

use \Rawilk\Printing\Facades\Printing;
use \Rawilk\Printing\Receipts\ReceiptPrinter;
public function xprinter(Request $request, Printing $printing)
{
try {
$receipt = (string) (new ReceiptPrinter)
->centerAlign()
->fontSize(3, 5)
->text('My heading')
->fontSize(1, 1)
->leftAlign()
->line()
->twoColumnText('Item 1', '2.00')
->twoColumnText('Item 2', '4.00')
->feed(2)
->centerAlign()
->barcode('1234')
->cut();

       $printing::newPrintTask()
        ->printer("71138085")
        ->content($receipt)
        ->send();
    } catch(Exception $e) {
        echo "Couldn't print to this printer: " . $e -> getMessage() . "\n";
    }
