re: crystal value
That PIC needs a real crystal (and 2 caps) to use as it's 'master clock'. Common values used are 4, 16 and 20 MHz. For fast serial ports like 115k200 you need a 20MHz crystal, slow ... |

The actual crystal value is not very critical for the centronics (parallel) interface because it uses the strobe/busy handshake to move data so the crystal frequency is not very critical there (other ... |

For short connections you don't need anything on the data lines. What you do need is a resistor to pull the 'busy' line to the 'busy' state, if the connection is not present. This way the code won't t ... |
