Can anyone tell me if this printer is compatible with Windows 8? I have found that there are alot of printers that are not. :-(

I went to the following web site to download Win8 drivers and software... http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&lc;=en&dlc;=en&product;=5070121I don't know if it was necessary, but I just assumed that win8 would need updated software/downloads.

I don't know about Windows 8, but as far as I'm concerned it isn't even worth worrying about... Nasty flimsy printer, horrid customer service - the 7510 replaced an older worn-out HP all-in-one which was fine/better quality, but which left behind an HP embedded printer file which took 4 hours to remove (including 2 1/2 hours with HP tech support in India taking over my computer remotely) before I could even install the 7510. (I getting a double-window popup on my screen, which I couldn't get rid of and finally Googled to find it was an HP printer file. There were MANY other people on the forum with the same issue...) This printer also no longer has HP Solution Center support - according to HP: Microsoft required HP to use MS print software with its new printers.. Really?! I guess I'm supposed to have "stupid" stamped on my forehead? The custom options for printing are drastically reduced. I bought add'l large capacity cartidges, which were defective... I've been a loyal HP customer for 35 years, but will never buy another HP product! I gave the new 7510 to a friend for his kids to play with... BUY A CANON! I'm very happy with the Canon MX892 (I even bought an extra to have on hand.) This printer is solid, easy to set up, prints quality photos, has all the customizable print options HP used to have +, and is miles above the new HP "quality"!

I have had my printer since May 2010 and it has worked great for me before and with Windows 7 but I have no idea of how it will perform using Windows 8. Please let me know how this printer performs using Windows 8 if your purchase it. It's a fantastic printer, performs great and I've never had any problems with it although I have read negative reviews.

Yes....windows 8 drivers must be downloaded from http:solutions.brother.com as it is not on the install disc that ships with the printer

I would say Yes it is compatible with windows 8. I read all my papers that came with my Deskjet 1050 and it does not say it isn't. According to my papers itmust go with all of them. None are mentioned as not being compatible with. Hope this helps!! I love mine and use almost every day. Don't know what I would do without it.

I bought my printer used from an online auction about six years ago. I have used it via USB connection, and currently have it wired to the U-Verse WI-FI server/hub/modem/whatever. Mine work(ed)s great with WIN XP, WIN Vista, WIN 7, WIN 8 and now WIN 8.1 OS. My son is printing from the household network using his current Apple OS release from both iPAD and a MacBook, but I don't know the release nickname.

I use mine with Windows 7 so don't know about 8. After seeing the previous review, just wanted to say this printer works well. I have no problem with reminders, running out of ink or daily head cleanings. But to be fair, I have not used the fax or scanner as of yet. I would recommend this printer!

Hi. It's been awhile since my purchase and I gave it as a gift. From my understanding, it did not work with Windows 8. Hope this helps.

Hi as far as I know ///Yes it is! I now have windows 7!!! I'm not going up to windows 8 ( No Way)!!! You have to be carful what printers & scanners you now have before you jump up to a newer device! Because if you don't then you'll be buying all new devices that well work with what you are running on your computer! I found out the hard way when I jumped from Windows 95 to Windows 7!!! I hope this helps you out! But the best way to check a device out is to call up the companies! Lloyd PS: I do love my printer!!!It's so very easy to use!!!

yes it is but windows 8 sucks big time. also lexmark tech support leaves something to be desired.seems that printer uses color ink in printing black and white documents. if color ink is outand black is ok, it will not print a black and white page. must go in to settings and switch to black only. LEXMARK TECH SUPPORT TOLD ME I NEEDED TO BUY 3 NEW COLOR CARTRIDGES TO BE ABLE TO PRINT ANYTHING. a fellow at WALMART told me about switching settings.

it is compatible with Windows 8.1 as it is a standard wireless device. What must be ensured is that it is compatible with the printer that you are using it with. Some printers have little or no processing power on board and the wireless device must be able to connect to the print processor.

I bought this printer several weeks ago for my small company and all we run is Windows 7-64 bit. We have had zero problems printing to it, albeit PDFs are sometimes finicky but we think that we just need to find a better driver. Hope that helps.

There is a usb drive on the front of the printer so I would assume you could print right from that. And I use this printer with my Windows 8. Love the Printer. It is also wireless if you have a router you can go wireless with it. simple to use and saves on ink and scans a lot of sheets and holds a pack of paper. It is a awesome printer

The only one that I can claim 100% compatibility with is Windows 7. We have yet to migrate our 6 locations over to Windows 8, so I can't answer whether it's compatible with that OS or not. I believe in the next quarter we will be moving everyone over to Windows 8. I can give an update at that point in time. Overall, the printer is a good workhorse and we've had no issues with it. Hope that helps. Dave

This is more of a software question. I run Windows 7 and it works fine. I like this printer. Great quality printing. Hope this helps.

This printer also works fine with Windows 8. I suggest going to Canon's website to download the latest drivers no matter what OS you're using.

I just installed it on a windows 8.1 machine. It gave me an error the first time, I just re installed and it worked. Have not created a document with it yet as I don't have anything on there to print with yet.
