It seems there is no good way to solve this problem:
- From one side, this is a user operation problem. Once we have launched the printing action, the printer will block waiting for the user to input the cheque correctly. If this is not done, the printer will wait forever for this.
- From the other side, we currently don't have two-way communication with the printer, it is just one direction, and the POS just sends the print command to the printer, that then handles the process.

The POS behaves correctly in the sense that subsequent printing operations will fail with the proper error message. The user is responsible of either inserting the cheque correctly, or otherwise, if the printer gets stuck, of restarting the printer, which fixes the problem.

Unfortunately, there is not much that we can do here.
