Hello Ron! Since you asked your question you have gotten several
responses, including mine which came from the manual for your printer and
should have fixed your problem. You thanked everyone who responded, EXCEPT
me. LOL
This really should not be a problem at all, for the selection of the Star
NX-2430 is in every CD I own. You just have to add a new printer from the
control panel, make sure you select Bi-Directional, and make sure that you
have an additional parallel port card, or you could create a serial
connection as well. Dot Matrix printers will normally work with any OS, it
is Hardware specific not software specific.
You printer will work just fine with an Epson LQ-850/860 emulation or one
of the IBM Pro printers. I have had a Panasonic 24 pin printer for 10
years and that is the way it was setup that many years ago. Make sure you
use a 1284 EEE compliant cable so as to allow the printer to talk back and
forth to your computer.
I hope this finally helps you.
