Details
For this method to work, a font must first be selected with the lcd.setfont method. The lcd.textorientation and lcd.texthorizontalspacing properties affect how the text is printed.
This method always produces single-line text output. Use lcd.printaligned if you want to print several lines of text at once.
The display panel must be enabled (lcd.enabled = 1 — YES) for this method to work.
