Hello ephesis,
E>> I really wonder if an ascii text page based printer driver for any of brands -HP,Canon..- could be written by pbp for 18F family usb pics. <<
Yes, very easily done...IF ( I say IF) your printer accepts standard ASCII codes...with BUILT IN FONTS. Most printers do not anymore... your Dot Matrix printers will. I know that the HP1200 will work, and it can be driven by the USB. But when you start messing with printers that do not have built in fonts... you complicate things tremendously for the PIC. Quite a few of the Centronix Printers will have built in fonts.. and sometimes the Centronix printers can be driven by the USB ports.
Dwayne (either that, I misunderstood your question).
