ABSTRACT:
A printer for printing an image onto a physical medium. The printer includes a print engine for physically printing the image onto the physical medium. The print engine receives signals representing the image to be printed directly from an external computer. The printer is coupleable to the external computer by a high-speed serial bus that enables the printer to print the images without prior interim storage of the signals in an on-board buffer in the printer. The signals may be processed by a processor in the external computer before being transmitted to the print engine, thereby eliminating a need for an on-board processor in the printer.
