Hello,

At the moment, I am engaged in a project in which I have to drive Epson LQ-310 printer with Arduino Mega ADK (USB Host). There is already a library USB_Host_Shield_2.0 on Github which includes usb drivers for keyboard, flash drive etc. but not for a printer.

I am thinking to modify the current header files (adk.h and adk.cpp) based on Android drivers to suit for a printer. Do the things workout in this way?

Could anyone of you please suggest me the things to modify to achieve the required functionality?

Thank You

Jan Axelson

You will need to provide a USB host printer driver. This might help:

But you might find it easier to just use a serial printer.
