but it is good to buy an printer like small thermal printer rather than assembling it and finishing the project

thanks for the reply.. can you tell me where can i find the small printer for a lesser cost..??and will it be compatible with pic.?
and how about epson190g... this is a kind of portable mini printer which we found in a website... can that be used for the project...??

i had read about this printer earlier.. it says connect it to a pc and it will work as there is a software given for it. but i want to do the software for a portable mini printer using pic microcontroller...is it possible to use the printer you suggested..??

you get lot of thermal printers that can be interfaced to controllers.... my suggestion is go for thermal printers.. they are easily available and easy to interface......
