I have not used Windows 8 so I cannot answer. However, I have used this printer for years with both Mac and PC,s with no problem. I hope this helps.

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!

I am running it on Windows 7, Home Premium 64-bit, with HP supplied drivers. The printer works fine. The drivers are available on HP.Com .... I did not have any problem upgrading it to Windows 7.

I just got Windows 8 and this printer works fine. When the curser is moved to the far right under one of those categories is printer that I can't figure out. You do have to add a printer icon which took me awhile. Good luck.

Yes this printer will work with window 8. I found you will need to download and install the driver for this printer from MicroSoft web site. The driver name is UFRII LT

I have windows 7 so can't say. But, it is a great printer. Best choice of all monochrome printers for cost and quality. Wayne R.

I don't see why the printer wouldn't work. I'm sure all you would need to do is download a driver from Dell's website if it didn't work right away. I have not heard any plans to phase out Windows 7 just yet. But even if they were to, it wouldn't make a difference in my opinion. I just recently bought this computer with Windows 7 Pro and I upgraded/downgraded (whichever way you want to look at it) to Windows 7 Home Premium. In my opinion, it's the best OS that Windows ever created. I now have 3 computers with this OS and never once have I had a problem with it. I wouldn't worry about Win7 being phased out unless you rely on customer support or something like that. I don't see why the printer wouldn't work.

This computer will only be preloaded with the windows operating system. To enable you to use your printer you have to install it using the CD originally supplied with the printer or the software downloaded from hp.

The device comes with an installation disk, and you will need a computer with an OS of XP to Win7 to set up the device. The install will NOT work on a Win 8.x machine, but once the device is properly setup, the Win 8 machine readily installs the driver and uses the printer. (???) I used the device to replace an XP machine that I used as a print server - works like a charm.

It depends on the manufacturer. If you have a specific printer in mind, the best way to know if it is compatible with Windows 8 is to check the manufacturer's website and see if drivers were released. You can also check the Windows Compatibility Center to see if your printer is listed as compatible with Windows 8: http://bit.ly/Xa8R0z

If you are running a compatible Windows system, the printer should work fine.
