Is this printer compatible with a laptop running windows 8?

Yes. I run Windows 8 and it works fine. The scanner actually works, too, which seems rare on a value machine.

I just got a new computer with windows 8 and the printer worked without installing any drivers. I only used the printing function so am not sure if everything else would work or not.

I have used this printer with each of my laptops and desktops; it has been compatible with XP, Vista, 7, and 8. This printer should never be at a price point higher than 100.00; if you pay more than that, you're being ripped off.

This printer might be compatible with Win8, but with all its flaws and defects why would you want it? You can have mine.

I do not know if it is. I have windows eight. Anyway, yesterday we ditched the lazer printer in favor of a non lazer model. The lazer printer toner refill process was too expensive and impossible to understand. It was actually cheaper for us to switch to a different printer with easy toner refill.

Deborah, I do not know as I use Windows XP only. Good luck with it, but we went back to our old Brother printer

I don't have an answer regarding Windows 8 but as an owner of this printer I can tell you we made a mistake purchasing this model. It is extremely slow and the printer cartridges are low volume. The printer stops working when the ink cartridge runs out. There is no warning and no difference in print quality. The printer just quits working. This was very frustrating in the middle of a project. We purchased a new cartridge and the printer worked immediately however the maximum number of pages is 200. So we not have to keep track of pages printed so we will know when the printer will stop working.

Yes, I am currently using mine, wireless with Windows 8. This printer uses ink like a sponge.

I use this printer on a network, with both Windows 8 (8.1 Update) and Windows 7 machines, with no difficulty or any apparent compatibility problems. I'd make sure you have the latest driver installed in case that addresses any Win 8 compatibility issues. The only phenomenon I have encountered (I won't even call it an issue) is that when I have a power outage, the printer gets reassigned a new IP address and can't communicate with the PC. This is readily solved by "adding" a new printer at the new IP address.

Check the Epson website for Windows 8 drivers, that will give you a definite answer, but I'm quite sure it would be compatible.

It's a great printer, but I haven't been able to get it to work with my Windows 8 computer. It works fine with our Macs, Windows 7 and Windows Vista computers. It could be just me though. I may just not have been able to figure it out...

I am using the Link with Windows 8 without any problems, so I'd expect the same with Windows 8.1. First have a look if your router doesn't have a USB port for connecting a printer to it.

The printer will probably work just fine with win 8 however the 7550 drivers will not work with versions newer than XP. Therefore, it is necessary to find an HP driver that is compatible with both the printer and win 8. I've had the same problem with win 7 and the 7550 and am using hp deskjet 5550 drivers. Still getting the same great output from the printer however the 5550 drivers do not support all the great features of this printer. So, try the hp deskjet 5550 drivers - well, that is if win 8 supports them.

There are no Windows 8 drivers available for this printer. Windows 7 is the last version of the MS OS that this printer will work on.

Kathy. I would NOT recommend this mobil printer unless you are getting it for under 50 bucks. Highly unlikely it works with Windows 8 but you can google that one. This printer just died on me on a trip.. completely died. its crap

You definitely should be able to. One of the things that I greatly admire about Windows 8 is its simplicity and user friendliness. It should be rather easy to set up a printer on your device. You should be printing in no time!
