I'm working on a project where I need to send files from an app to an Epson L121/L120 printer. This isn't your typical thermal or dot matrix printer, so I'm a bit stuck on what microcontroller to use for controlling it. Any suggestions on the best options?

To keep it straightforward, if you just need simple input/output control, an Arduino is a solid choice. But if you require more processing power, like if you're doing more complex tasks, consider using a Raspberry Pi. Understanding the exact requirements of your printer setup will help you choose the right board, but for what you described, an Arduino might suffice.
Just a heads up, the Epson L121/L120 is a regular inkjet printer, so controlling it through Arduino would only work for basic functions, like button presses, and won't give you full control.
