Dwayne,
I think the question was:
is it possible to drive a printer by a PIC via USB?
not:
which printer models do have built in fonts?

Hello Ralph,
I think the question was:
is it possible to drive a printer by a PIC via USB?
not:

My answer would be yes...*only* if the printer has built in Fonts, and you use standard ASCII to print with to your USB port.
If it doesn't have built in fonts, you are shooting yourself in the foot.
Most printers that I know of (That have built in fonts) will accept ASCII data, just like your LCD. (Especially the Dot Matrix). But if they do not have the built in fonts, you will have a tremendous amount of overhead to create and use the fonts. Which IMO is out of the question for the PICs.
I was probably unclear...sorry.
