Welcome to our site! EDAboard.com is an international Electronics Discussion Forum focused on EDA software, circuits, schematics, books, theory, papers, asic, pld, 8051, DSP, Network, RF, Analog Design, PCB, Service Manuals... and a whole lot more! To participate you need to register. Registration is free. Click here to register now.
The part number you listed in your post is for a printing mechanism, not a whole printer (just the mechanics). You would still need a so-called interface board with the actual printing electronics.
The one capable of serial communication goes by the name FTP-628DSL305R. Click on the link and look at the picture. Does that look like a project one might come up with while discussing on a forum?
If you do have the board, interfacing it to a 8051-based µC is easy: throw a **broken link removed** in the mix between µC's UART and the Rx/Tx of the printer's interface board.
This would pretty much take care of the electronics.
When you've completed this part of your project, welcome back to take a look at the software as well.
