Hello All ..
I want to interface a parallel printer with my PIC16F877A (serial printers are not available) .. I googled and found out that i need to connect D0-D7 with any output port of the PIC and need to connect strobe and busy Pin .. Now i am confused about making its code and circuit. I want to know that by directly connecting these pins with my printer, will i be able to print something or do i need any circuit in between them?
and If someone has an example Code and circuit, plz share it.
I am using PIC-CCS Compiler ..
