Hi Luciano,

I found the DIP switches but no idea what they do, not in the manual too. It is a MSP 245.

Ioannis I have tried making the timing high enouhg but results were same.

I have found an article in the EPE mag July 2001 called PIC to Printer Interface by John Becker for printing on an EPSON printer. I have also found the epson documentation (escape sequences). I will give them a try and let you all know.

BTW as far as grabbing data from the parallel port is concerned can anybody suggest me a software that monitors and records a parallel port data just like serial monitor.

Thanks to everyone for responding.
