Dot Matrix printers win7 star lc 10

[francy_02]

You should download the software from the manufacturer.

 

[ahnilated]

download any driver (for any OS except apple) and then run it in compatability mode on 7

This was already posted on this issue before.

Star LC 10 is 15-year old (at least) matrix printer (I can't remember whether 9-pin or 24-pin), and there are no available drivers for it on Star Micronics site.

Depending on the mode (there was a DIP switch), it can work as IBM-compatible, or Epson LX/LQ compatible. Windows 7 has drivers for Epson LX/LQ, so I would try these first.

Stick it in LX/LQ mode and just use the inbuilt Win7 driver.

have you tried to install it as generic text only, unless it has a add in font card it should work just fine.

click start > devices and printer > (a box will open) click add a printer >local printer >
select the type of connection > scroll down to generic in the left and select generic /text only in the right hit next and follow the prompts and you should be done. =)

@Francy, if you install Epson or IBM drivers, you will be able to print graphics as well
