* Print buffers manage newlines and character encoding for the target printer.
* They are used as a swappable component: text or image-based output.
*
* - Text output (EscposPrintBuffer) is the fast default, and is recommended for
* most people, as the text output can be more directly manipulated by ESC/POS
* commands.
* - Image output (ImagePrintBuffer) is designed to accept more encodings than the
* physical printer supports, by rendering the text to small images on-the-fly.
* This takes a lot more CPU than sending text, but is necessary for some users.
* - If your use case fits outside these, then a further speed/flexibility trade-off
* can be made by printing directly from generated HTML or PDF.
