Hello,
I just purchased a mini thermal printer. I was unable to get the unit to self test with a couple of different power supplies. One of these was a 4A 5V supply. The green led blinks twice every couple of seconds but otherwise no joy.
I also attempted to get the printer to respond when attached to an Arudino using example code without success.
I found this posting on the forum:

My symptoms are identical though I have not tried the manual feed trick. Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help -- I appreciate all that you guys do.

Re: Mini Thermal Printer - Not Printing
4A should be plenty to run the thing.
