The Sinclair QL Forum

Hi everyone,

Would the QL be able to print to a modern printer with a serial interface? There are several receipt or label printers that have serial ports. Would those work or is there something different about the serial protocol?

Thank you,

I meant a printer that does have a serial port, like this one.

If the prpnter has a standard RS-232 port, yes, that works. I've had connected my old LQ-1050 Epson 24pin successfully with its non-standard DIN-connector (but RS-232) to the QL (before I have got my SQB).

I think, the correct wiring is found at Dilwn's site.
