Hi, > Could you help me how to interface ATmega16 to printer directly?
First, read this: http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Next, decide which port type you are going to use: parallel (DB-25 "centronics")? USB? Serial? Network? Let's assume you mean parallel. Google is your friend. This page: http://www.technick.net/public/code/pinouts.php under the "Parallel IO", read "Centronics" and "SPP". You will need eight data bits, as well as a few control and status bits. Next, what kind of printer? If it's an old dot-matrix printer, you may be able to just send it raw ASCII. If it's a postscript printer, it may accept raw postscript, or it may require a bit of control protocol on top, I'm not sure. There are (many) other printer protocols.
