A thermal printer which is designed to reduce costs by reducing the number of parts, and which can easily drive a carriage using an inexpensive low-power drive motor by reducing a load acting on the part of the carriage which carries a thermal head. The carriage is provided so as to travel reciprocatively along a platen. A thermal head is directly attached to the opposite side of the carriage to the platen without any intervening member. A biasing member is disposed for urging the carriage toward the platen.
