No, it doesn't come with software, but that shouldn't be a problem. Windows should recognize it as an IDE drive and install the correct driver.

It comes totally ready to install with resettable cartages and ink reservoirs that are full of ink all you need it comes with just install and print... Hope this helped you ... I love mine ... You will save money big time with this system just remember with a Epson print something at least once a week to keep the print heads wet is all and that's normal for any Epson using this system or only just the factory cartages it came with as Epson printer heads have a habit of clogging up/drying up if you leave them set to long without using the printer.

Comes with two ink cartridges (Black/white and color). USB cable is not included. You must buy it separately.

Yes, the printer does come with ink! There are also some very economical inks available on Amazon.com for this printer. I bought some replacement ink here that wasn't "brand name" as recommened, but it works great and there's more for your money.

You still have to install the device software and that should find the printer during installation. After that printing to it should be easy.

Yes, like most printers it comes with a small amount of ink. It'll run out fast and you'll need to buy more pretty quick, but that's very often the case with printers.

It comes with ink, but they are start up cartridges and therefor the ink is minimal, like when you buy a new printer.

Yes, it does. I purchased this printer from amazon last week. The box contained a separate CD for installation on machines running Vista. I had no problems with the installation and have had no problems with at all.

I watched a video(s) on youtube. I also think that the InkXPro website has the same or similar videos. You will have "break" part of the printer cover to install. After using this kind of ink, it is hard to switch back to regular ink.

Yes, the printer came with a full set of inks. It also came with the paper tucked into the top of the box. What it doesn't come with are the UPC tags to get the rebates from Canon, but that's why they're selling them for less. I got mine for around $199 plus tax and shipping. They had already collected the $300 in rebates, but the printer would have cost $500 and $50 for the paper otherwise. I'm very happy with the print quality using the Canon papers. It was relatively easy to set up although the software was a bit glitchy to get going. I had to go to Canon and get the latest drivers, but then it worked fine. It's pretty fast, prints look good, and I haven't noticed it using lots of ink yet. The prints look great, so I'm happy. I've had lots of Epson printers and this is the first Canon I've purchased. I went with the dye since I just couldn't justify the cost of the pigment inks when I print so infrequently. Also, the pigment printers are more prone to clogged heads if not used at least weekly. Hope this helps.

No, but it is an awesome printer. It exceeds my expectations so far. I'll never go back to inkjet for home office.

The point is: the cost of the ink will soon exceed the cost of the printer! They sell you the printer for cheap so they can soak you on the ink!

Yes, there was ink them. But they didn't work, and they ruined my printer. I had to buy a new printer. Not worth the risk IMHO.

I have not used this printer, but I thought I would add that you MUST have the slightly more expensive "printable CD/DVD's" (you can't print on just any CD/DVD).

There is a disc sent to install the software but there aren't any extra downloads included with this listing for the cartridges. However, I get them from www.svgcuts.com and I also make my own images using Adobe Illustrator. I hope this answers your question.

It comes with ink but the cartridges are supposed to contain just enough ink to setup the printer. However so far I have printed out about six 12 inch x 12 inch heavily colored t-shirt transfer prints and still have ink left. Because the spec said setup ink tanks, I ordered a full set of spares along with the printer. I think that printer manufacturers sell the printers for under cost and then make all their money on selling ink. By the time you replace the tanks twice on many printers, you will have spent more money on ink than on the printer. Just the same, I think it is an outrage not to include a full set of tanks with a new printer.
