To interface an Epson LX-310 dot matrix printer with the Verdin iMX8M Plus on the Verdin Development Board, you will need to consider the communication interface that the printer supports. The Epson LX-310 typically supports parallel and USB interfaces. Here’s a general approach to get started:
-
Identify the Interface:
- If the printer uses a USB interface, you can connect it directly to a USB port on the Verdin Development Board.
- If it uses a parallel interface, you might need a USB-to-parallel adapter since the Verdin Development Board does not have a parallel port.
-
Install Necessary Drivers:
- Ensure that the necessary printer drivers are installed on your Linux system. You might need to install CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) and any specific drivers for the Epson LX-310.
-
Configure the Printer:
- Use CUPS to add and configure the printer. You can access the CUPS web interface by navigating to

Test the Printer:
- Once configured, you can test the printer by sending a test page or a simple print job from the command line or a graphical interface.
-
Troubleshooting:
- If you encounter issues, check the CUPS logs for any error messages and ensure that the printer is recognized by the system.
