Which PrintMaster works with windows 8.1? I've seen bad reviews on all versions.

Hi Sandra, I love Printmaster and when I upgraded to Windows 8.1, I found that Printmaster 18.1 would not run on the new Windows platform. Through much research I was advised to download and install Net Framework 1.1 and all would be well, not so. I then purchased PM Plat. 6.0, believing that this newer version would be the answer, not so. I have had crashes in the middle of projects losing hours of work, I am extremely frustrated to say the least. I have been using PM for many years and it has always been head and shoulders in performance above the rest. I sincerely hope that Encore works on this problem and gets it right. It almost caused me to go back to drinking again! :) Hang In There!

My Printmaster Gold 17 would not work with Windows 8, so I am using it on another computer with Windows XP. I ordered Platinum for my Windows 8 computer and I am very unhappy with it. Most cards are without text.

My box states Version 23. All I know is it works well with my Windows 7 and Windows 8 laptops. I've used it for a few months and have had no issues with it. I have always likes using all the older versions of Print Shop over the years so that's why I bought the newest one because I upgraded my computers.

It works on windows 7 & 8. But the drivers are horrible. Sometimes it won't print with a "error: this operation completed successfully" message, and sometimes it only prints in B&W.; Machine is perfect though. But I'd buy another brand.

Yes it will. I just install Serif PhotoplusX4 on my brand new computer with Windows 8.1, did not have any problems. Hope this was helpful.

Absolutely. That's why I bought it. I was a big fan of Print Shop version 6 for XP. I do not recommend the new version, however. I have switched to Serf Page Plus.

Used PrintShop years ago on a Mac, and it was fine for what I wanted at the time. Tried Nova Publisher Pro 3 years ago, and I never needed to read the instructions (unless it was for a special function, to make sure I did it correctly) - it's very easy to use right out of the box. This is a great product for the cost - every bit as good as MS Publisher and others but for a fraction of the cost. You won't regret it.

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

Hi, Anybody have trouble with the software aspect? I am running into trouble with the driver intalls, in particular the DLLs, and the worst is driver CNMBR333, even with the updated drivers. I already email tech suppport and they responded quickly but their solution didnt work. I wont hear again till tommorow but since so many others here are enthused about what is definitley a quality printer that even make standard paper printouts seem like photo paper, I though maybe someone with a bit more experience with install issues might be able to help.Thank You Regardless

I use Windows 7, but Epson continually updates it's drivers so it should work with WINDOWS 8.

I'm very happy with the printer. I have no issues whatsoever. I am using Windows 8.1.

I bought it...asked customer service on the phone who assured me it was capable to work with Windows 8 even though box said Windows 7 compatable...nothing about windows 8 or 8.1 Spent way too much time trying to get my new windows 8 computer to recognize the print server even after loading the disc...not worth the effort...go with one that says Windows 8 compatable ( should also work with Windows 8,1 which is just an update)

Since I really dislike the printshop 3.0 I haven't really looked into buying another version. The old version I had (I think it was 6.0 but back in the 90's and it was GREAT but not compatible with my newer computer). 3.0 is a big waste of money as you can see from the reviews.

I have three computers running Windows 8.1 and there have been no issues at all with this printer.

Yep. Works perfect! Actually 8.1.1 too! But for now you have to use a Win 7 .dll fax printer file since Win 8 has a bug in the required file. Hiro has the required .dll file for download on their website. Also, AFTER you install the modem go to the Hiro website and download their latest Win 8.1 driver. ;-)

One of the PC I use has Windows 8.1 and it works fine on the Hawking wireless print server
