Hello Irmus,

You will have to give a little more detail of what you want. To send data Via LPT Port, the Centronics Port is a parallel Port, and you can transmit from most your pic chips to a printer by using one of the 8 bit Busses on the Chips.

BUT!!!! if you have a printer that does NOT have built in fonts, you will not be able to transmit directly to the printer. These Printers are called Window Printers (for ease of defining). And these printers *must* use the windows drivers in order to work.

Some modems are called "WinModems", because they will *only* work in Windows.

Now about your recieve. You must be more explicite. You can use a usart, you can write your own transmit and receive. But either way, you need to explain just a little more on how and what you are trying to accomplish. Recieve could mean something such as receiving a pulse every second, to sending data like a modem.
