I need to print..it has only been disasterous so far

Hello everyone, I am an art student focusing on robotics with an electrical
cunundrum. I am gathering data through sensors via the Parallax Basic
Stamp. I am then hoping to print this data, ideally without going through a
computer. However, I am having an absolutly awful time attempting to figure
out how to do this. If anyone has any suggestions I would be greatly obliged.
I am also open to non-traditional printing methods, essentially anything that
could possibly work. I have been looking at printing calculators, but at the
moment those are just as large of a mystery.
Thanks

Hello,
It sounds as though our EDE1400 Printer Interface IC is just what you
need. It will receive 2400 baud data directly from the Stamp and print it
on a standard parallel-type (Centronics) printer. A datasheet can be
downloaded on our website at www.elabinc.com in the integrated circuits
section.
Good luck with the project,

With a 74LS595, a NPN transistor and a few pasives, you can manage a parallel
printer with only 3 wires.
Look at:

It includes schema and source for testing.
I hope help you.
Luis.
