As kindly reported in [issue #18](https://github.com/gianluca-nitti/printserver-esp8266/issues/18) (read the linked discussion for more details), a couple of improvements can be made to this schematic. In particular, the BUSY signal from the printer can be converted fom 5V to 3.3V, for example by making a simple voltage divider with a couple of resistors of appropriate value, to further protect the ESP8266 input pin. It's not 100% clear whether it's 5V tolerant.
