Does this print server work with Windows 8.1?
1480205
I do not know. I have both Mac and Windows computers able to print to it. My guess you should be able to as an IP printer (Print to the IP of the print server in windows like I do for my Mac)

Yes it does. The print server has nothing to do with the OS you use. It is a standalone device on your network with an IP address and port. You then add a printer on your network using internet as the option and specify the IP address and then choose the correct printer drivers from your os. Remember, to configure the device you will need to make sure it has a default local IP address that is on your network. See my previous comments on how to do this.

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)

don't have that, I have w7. In theory, it should work as long as their configuration tool runs correctly in w8. The config tool is basically a one time run; unless you are planning to change IP configuration frequently.

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.

You have to purchase the print server...$100 (Amazon) ouch. I had a "linksys printserver" that I could use Win XP to print with. But Windows 7 does not work with the linksys printserver. So I had to purchased the Dell adaptor (printserver, wireless card) I monitored the net for about 6 month's ...You will pay list (ouch) as I did...But now that the pain has faded..I love it. This is the best printer I have ever had..Quality A+ Speed A+ and last but not least Cartridge replacement cost $79-$82 for a 4-Pack (all colors) I almost bought a Brothers at Costco..till I seen the cost of replacement cartridges. Any questions please ask...Jim You have to purchase the print server...$100 (Amazon) ouch. I had a "linksys printserver" that I could use Win XP to print with.

I believe it is. The software has instructions for MAC. Not sure of the versions, so I would check carefully before purchasing. It works great with Win 8, though I have not tried with 8.1. I have found that most printers do give the options for MAC when installing.

It couldnt work as a print server if it is a native. But you can install linux instead of native. Then you can construct print server

Hi Orange. This may not be an adequate answer, since I'm running Win7-64bit, but the print server is strictly an IP device. The print queue must be set to LPR and will not work if set to the native Windows "RAW" communication. Not knowing Win8 details, I would guess that it would work if Win has an LPR server component. Also, it is very slow and I would recommend a better print server...if it's within your budget. I've found these inexpensive devices to be more trouble than their worth. Good luck.

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

No it is not compatable with windows 8 i had to buy hp photo smart all in one #6520 is the printer u want to get

Yes, it will operate in Windows 8.1. I do not believe it is comparable to the old versions of Printmaster. I own the program and also an older version (which I loved), and the new program is a MAJOR step backwards in my experience. I stopped using it, it is so bad.

It is supposed to work with Windows 8.1 and that's what I have on my computer. I just couldn't get this version of Print Shop to do anything for me. I don't think it was the operating system but rather the software. It is horrible, they removed many of the options that the older version Print Shop had. I was so disappointed in it that I don't even try to use it anymore. I managed to get my old version downloaded onto the 8.1 and I am happier with it. I prefer to deal with the occasional glitch from system incompatibility. I really hated the new version of Print Shop and would have returned it if I could have. Print Shop should be ashamed for releasing that version.

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.

It works fine with my Dell computer, which runs Windows 7. Unless your computer is a dinosaur, the printer should work just fine.

It is. We have a Windows 7 pc Windows 8.1 and a Mac and they all use it as a network printer and the software is on all three

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 does. In the user manual it explains how to setup the "Print Server Settings".

I currently have Windows 8.1 installed and I am utilizing the printer without any issues.

just using the print function should work just fine' providing your printer is in the network sharing

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...
