Is it HPL compatible? Or what about Postscript compatible. 
If HPL you do escape code commands for drawing. If postscript you set a
starting point and moveto commands.

The other thing is the aspect is different than the screen. If the
printer does 150 X 150 or 300 X 300 you can graph X and Y straight where
as the screen has a different number of pixels for X from y.

SO you bot is going to carry a printer around?

Subject: [AVR-Chat] Thermal printer questions


Hi all.  I'm working on a datalogger using an ATmega8535 and want to 
attach a thermal printer to it so I can get a nice graph of the data. 
  Right now, I'm sending the data to a PC for import into an Excel 
spreadsheet.  (This is a pain because tethers me to the computer and I 
need portability.)  The printer I have in mind is a Seiko p/n 
LTP251B-192. (I've got three of them.)  This is a discontinued product 
so it does not appear anywhere on Seiko's website, nor does it appear 
in Google.  (Lots of hits on where I can buy paper, though.)

If anybody knows:

[1] Where can I find a datasheet for this part.
[2] Something about creating graphics for print (as opposed to 
graphics for display).

I would appreciate it.
