Is it possible?
Yes. Same as using a processor to do the same thing.
It's very simple in case of a printer having a centronics interface. Even graphics can be done easily after sending the right commands.
In case of a USB printer you will need a USB host. Implementing that in an FPGA will be much more difficult, so buy an old fashion HP500 Deskjet from Ebay and use that one (:

I should send text to a parallel printer.
What is a centronics interface?

I have read about Centronics ad its phase transition. I have read also EPP and ECP.
I should implement a OPB Slave peripheral to print text.
Could you tell me where I can find other information about Centronics, such as signal input and output?
Many Thanks Marco
