Does my computer need to have a CD/DVD drive in order to install and setup the printer or can be done without one? Thank you!

I originally tried to download the drivers and software from Samsung's site but all I could get, even if I chose the specific model, was the 'universal' drivers. Scan to PC would not work, Scanning wouldn't work, but printing did. So I would say if you don't have a CD-ROM Drive - to probably choose another printer. I mean - sure - somebody could rip the contents of the CD off to a flash drive or something - but that's too much trouble imho.

In my case we have had no problems. The printer works great and the fax is outstanding. Have not had to scan anything, but that function should not be affected if you have a CD/or DVD drive. Contact customer service and they can advise you.

I honestly am not sure but the first place I'd look is on the Samsung website. They would most likely have the drivers available for dowload. This is my first Samsung printer but their customer service for the dozen or so other products I have of theirs has been excellent. Hope this helps.

I use a HP Photosmart C5280 that I purchased because of the print on CD/DVD feature. It also came with software for that purpose. There is a CD tray similar to you CD tray on your PC that accepts your CD/DVD for printing.Simply put your printer has to have that feature.

Yes, but you need to buy an external DVD drive then install the wireless printer. Another way is you may extract file from a CD or DVD driver from a computer then use and USB flash driver install the wireless printer driver in the netbook then print. This way you do not need to buy an external DVD driver.

It does not come with cd/dvd drive. This was fine for my needs because I don't use them very often and it reduces the size considerably. When I need use a cd/dvd, I use an external cd/dvd drive which connects to the laptop via USB & works great.

Yes to your entire question. Printing to CD's is very easy. The software includes an extensive help file.

Mine had CDs for drivers and additional software. Up-to-date drivers can be found online. Power cable included but not Ethernet nor USB, as I recall. Manuals were included too, though you can find those online too. BTW, this printer has worked very well for several years of light home office use.

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.

It did have a setup disk. But I returned the printer because I couldn't get the pressure adjusted to print through a 3-part carbonless check.

Some printers, I have an Epson inkjet, have CD/DVD print capability. The printer drivers help format for the disk. Many USA printers companies do not offer the option. Epson has in the recent past on some models (such as Artisan 837). Outside the USA apparently some printer companies offer the option more than inside the USA. Sometimes it is possible to find adapter kits on eBay - so I've been told.

You do not need an app to install a printer. Go to control panel. Under category choose hardware and sound. choose add a device. It will look for printer. follow instructions and install.

You will need an external cd/dvd drive. There is not an internal one in this model.

As far as printing directly onto CD/DVD's, with the MFCJ825DW, it's a snap to do. You need the NewSoft CD Labeler software which is available on the CD that comes in the software package provided with the printer. (There might be a small upgrade available, also, from the software company. Use Google search). You also need the proper kind of disks for the printing. I am using the Verbatim disks that are called Inkjet Printable White, Hub Printable. They work great! The cd's will cost you about $0.36 each (50-pack) and the DVD's will cost you a bit more (bought thru Amazon). The cost of ink is extra, and dependent on your design (leave as much white space as you can). There is a lot of simple power in this printing software, especially using the "import" feature. You can import all kinds of images, backgrounds, etc., with a little of playing use Google "Images" or photos, etc. If you want to reach me, pfournier1@gmail.com

No DVD/CD drive. Should work well as a word processor. I run Media Center on it. Stream video from network attached storage and Netflicks with no performance issues.

This package comes with CDs. You will need either a CDrom or DVD drive to install.

Unfortunately No it doesn't have a CD/DVD drive. Windows comes pre-installed, you can always wipe it up and auto-install the windows natively without a dvd . I'm genuinely happy with the laptop using it for about an year now, works great, feather lite.
