Can this be used with Windows 8 as a wireless printer? scanner?

Yes to both, though it helps some people to connect via USB temporarily for initial setup. See my 4-star review titled "Don't update the firmware" for more information on setup.

I have . The major problem is you can't put very much paper in shut and it jams frequently.

Yes. I print wireless to a multifunction Brother laser printer. Windows probably will have the print drivers but if not, you can download the drivers from the printers website.

Scanning should be independent from printing so it shouldn't be a problem as long as you are running on Windows 7 or earlier. Window's 8 might be a problem. Hope this helps

yes it is I M using windows 8 with it had an accident and found myself confined to a single room and needed a multi use wireless printer that I could use my lap top with and this printer fit the need very well

I have Windows 7, however it should work because it uses bluetooth technology to print wirelessly.

Depends on how you arrange you keyboard/monitor. If it was for myself, I would say no. The side where the PC tower goes, as well as the slot above it is not big enough for a printer scanner.

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.

We are not using a Windows product to connect our wireless scanner to. However, it did take us a while to figure out how to connect. There is a printed sheet with instructions for a windows product and Mac product. Follow the step by step instructions exactly, even though they seem out of whack. That worked for us. David

It has worked with all Windows versions up to 7; I don't know about 8. It is not wireless.

Its interface emulates a keyboard, so it should have no trouble with windows 8. It reads the card serial number stored in the rfid (not the orher, more advanced functions). It reads the card when you put it very close to the reader.

I'd expect any reasonably new scanner to work with the Dell and Windows 8. I have a Brother DCP Multi-Function Copier/Printer/Scanner and it works great!

Yes, the scanner works wirelessly. Double-check you have the latest drivers and patches. I can never keep my Windows 7 64-bit machines working with this printer wirelessly for more than a short time. Thinking of replacing it, actually, mainly because just the print software is so unreliable (in my case, on 3 separate machines).

Yes. I have windows 8 and it works fine with the PIXMA MX892. Windows 8 found the driver automatically for USB connection. For wireless, I downloaded the network software from Canon.

I'm sorry that I don't have an answer as I don't have Windows 8 and I returned the printer because I wanted a newer model.

Yes I am using a Cannon 8800F now with windows 8.1 it works great, but it is an older scanner.

If you had the printer drivers previously installed, I'd say Yes. If the driver isn't loaded, you'd still have to load up the driver. Worked that way on my client's machine running Win 7.
