inkjet microcontroller
Can anyone give me some clues as to how to write the driver (serial or parallel port) for a thermal or inkjet printer.
I want to print simple text in on an inkjet printer (a common HP model) using a microcontroller. Do they have EPSON dotmatrix emulation where I can just send ascii characters to print.
If I want to print graphics, do most printer follow a similar mechanism like in epson dot matrix printing graphics or do they each have a different protocol.
