    Could you be a little bit more vague as to what style of printer you are trying to drive?
    As far as we know, you're trying to drive (as in drive a truck) your printer (as in a person who prints) from point A to point B.

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.

    Thanks mister_e. Let me digest the information.

    I plan to connect a dot matrix printer to record any event ( periodic temperature reading ) in form of hard copy rather than save it in seeprom.
