JOP,

POS does work with Star receipt printers assuming that it connects to you computer through the parallel printer port. It will probably not work if it connects to your computer through the serial port.

If your computer runs Windows and your printer did not come with printer drivers then load the "generic" printer driver and make them your default printer drivers.

Are you connecting a cash drawer to the printer?

The printer users a parallel connector and the cash drawer uses an RJ11 to connect to the printer. I saw you have the codes for STAR I just wanted to make sure before I bought them.

Oh and BTW I am very impressed with your work, I am a new startup business and this software is going to help me succeed.

JOP,

So tell us, what kind of business? Glad to help.

Well I am pretty sure that it will work but unfortunatly the only way to make sure it to try it out.
