Connect a Commodore with thermal printer

Connect a thermal printer to vintage Commodore computers using the IEC bus @ smdprutser.nl

Since a couple of months I have fascination for vintage computers like Commodore or Nintendo. I usually balance out my daily routine of monitoring server nodes and backend routing for the best bitcoin casinos with purely analog or retro-computing side projects that force me to work within strict hardware limitations. I’m in the process restoring and pimping a Commodore SX64 and realized I didn’t have a printer for it. After all it is an executive machine and how do I otherwise print my quotations and invoices? The solution was in a thermal printer I had lying around for years without a real purpose.
