Finally uninstalling and reinstalling the software did solve the problem as MS Update also prompted a Samsung Update for Vista which successfully installed. Thank you; thus far, I have learned to value this Samsung laser printer which I am hoping to use for first releases of my newest Creative Writing. Several thousand pages per black cartridge is an obvious advantage.

1) are you sure your cable is a USB 2.0 piece?2) is your cable plugged into a direct port on the computer and not a hub, especially if the hub is un-powered

I haven't personally tried it, but the way to find out would be to compile and install libfprint, using the "--with-drivers=all" flag in the configure command line to ensure that any drivers that support the reader are built.Then, use either fprint_daemo or Fingerprint GUI to test the functionality.Good luck.

I've not found a way to do anything except greyscale. Look in "Properties" and see if it's possible with your printer. I think that unless you're printing with greyscale, you are using black.

You need to connect 2 usb. I have Windows 7 and just plug in to start working. If you want to switch colors, made macros, etc... you need to download and install the software.

Usually done in your computer. Go to printing preferences from the printers and faxes page and choose advanced. There is usually a way to enable or disable the black or grayscale only printing option. I no longer have this printer so cannot unfortunately, go to the unit to check what I did.

This device changes the printer it is connected to a network printer i.e. you no longer need to be physically connected to the printer, The print jobs are sent via your network to the printer from the network infrastructure. It does not matter whether the OS is Windows, Mac, or from tablets or phone. Just be sure you are purchasing the correct model (parallel, USB etc...)

Hello Dawn...The driver is the small USB connection , I don't no if you have brought this item but I tried to use this keyboard and when set up I could not control my mouse and when I disconnected the item it affected my PC a lot and I am still trying to get my PC back to normal use .

I have not found a driver, but I figured out how to write and read from the other tools and AP they provide. Using teh USB port in a shell script works for me, but my code is a ways away from being complete, I was able to get it to make a request and read the request but to this point I have not done anything else on it, just been too busy.

Yes, just check in the properties part to print in "grayscale". That is what I do. And you could have a box to pop up telling you there is not color and ask you about printing in black and white. Just answer "yes".

The dpi is set to a specific color by default. You change te default colors and dpi by pressing the dpi button on the mouse. You can customize the colors by using the software that is included.

If you install the Tray 3 option (Q6459A), you are unable to specify in the Printer Setup Utility that it is installed. It seems to be printing from that tray by default however. My Windows XP box sees Tray 3 and can switch between trays with no problem.

Hi Marion:You can try changing your color saturation settings in your printer properties. You can also reduce the resolution sometimes helps.

Not sure what you are asking. Just plug in pcmcia, install driver and it should work like normal USB.

Jodi, the imageCLASS MF8580Cdw will still be able to print in black and white even if one of the color cartridges is empty. In order to do this, you would need to adjust the driver settings.

If you are specifying "grayscale" or "black & White" in the print command, you have right to expect the printer to print it so. If you leave it to s/w to decide whether you need yellow, it won't.

You're typical printer to usb cable, flat rectangle one end, squarish on the other. Just type in Printer USB cable. You can also hook this us to your router and have it on the network (that's what I did).

Those changes would be for the pull down tray in the front of the printer. They are either set in the printer properties settings in the program you are printing from before you print, or you can set the printer properties on the printer in Devices and Printers where they will be the default settings for that tray. You can set that tray to always print No. 10 envelopes if you wish and make it be the default for that tray.
