Converted from a PC to a MAC. Without having a Windows Operating system running on the MAC, I was not able to get the PT-2430PC to work. With Parallels running Ptouch Editor does work enabling the unit to print. However the latest version of PTouch Editor V5 does not want to load.

Bought this to replace my older 1.5" p-touch. This printer was a disappointment.
1) The minimum margins on top and bottom mean that at most you can print 3/4" labels on this 1" printer. My 1" label designs from my 1.5" older model cannot print on this printer.
2) The software also was a problem. It renders graphics in high res - for a low res dot matrix printer! Simple designs from my old printer look horrible on this printer.
I have to keep using my old printer for 75% of my printing needs.
Hey Brother! Progress means moving forward - not backwards.

The printer allows you to create more than text. You can create any image. You are only limited by the printer resolution (print dot size). I created bars for danger labels.

I really like this printer. It took some research for me to get it to work because I do not use Microsoft Windows. I use Fedora Linux. After finding the drivers this is a good printer.
It would be better if brother would add drivers and software for Linux users.
