Thermal Printer fault

Post by fance92 »

Hi there,

I'm having an issue with my thermal printer, I'm using the mini thermal receipt printer starter kit and the power supply provided.

The printer has been working fine in the past, but I powered it up again after a few weeks of not using it and the printer won't print a test page on power-up.

I've tried loading the a_printertest sketch + trying a test page, and I've had a look to make sure the paper is sitting in the right place.

I've tested the power supply with a friends printer and it's running fine - so I think the issue is coming from the printer - does anyone have any debugging advice?

What changed from when it worked to when it didn't work? How was it being used during the time it was working?
