How compatibile is this printer to the Microsoft Surface RT? I know it interacts w/HP6500. But I want a 2nd cheaper printer for another location.

I'm not sure how compatible this is with the surface platform, but it works great from other items I've used like the iPhone and iPad. I'm sure there would be no issue with the surface, plus with the HP ePrint feature, you can print from anywhere in the world.

Kathy. I would NOT recommend this mobil printer unless you are getting it for under 50 bucks. Highly unlikely it works with Windows 8 but you can google that one. This printer just died on me on a trip.. completely died. its crap

That I don't know, but I will tell you this, I'm not especially happy with this printer, it's a perfect example of the cheap comes out expensive, I was really trying to stay with something the size of what I had, not realizing this was not as compatible as the one I lost, if given the chance again I'd have done a bit more research, they are misleading in what they tell you about this printer and I can't really recommend it, I'll stay with it while it lasts, but I've already had paper jams and have trouble using my photo paper when I make personalized cards, so keep that in mind too! And I've only had this for a few months!!!!! Good Luck, it also doesn't work with HP Solutions and it did not tell me this when I bought it and that is what led to some other problems I had. Lisa

I am running it on Windows 7, Home Premium 64-bit, with HP supplied drivers. The printer works fine. The drivers are available on HP.Com .... I did not have any problem upgrading it to Windows 7.

I use this printer on a network, with both Windows 8 (8.1 Update) and Windows 7 machines, with no difficulty or any apparent compatibility problems. I'd make sure you have the latest driver installed in case that addresses any Win 8 compatibility issues. The only phenomenon I have encountered (I won't even call it an issue) is that when I have a power outage, the printer gets reassigned a new IP address and can't communicate with the PC. This is readily solved by "adding" a new printer at the new IP address.

No - Microsoft Surface and Surface 2 are Windows RT devices based on ARM processors. The DisplayLink chipset used in this HP 3005pr docking station does not support Windows RT. Since almost all of the USB docking stations/port replicators in the market are based on DisplayLink chips, I am fairly confident that none of them support Windows RT.It does work very well with Surface Pro / Surface Pro 2; since these are Windows 8/8.1 devices based on x86 processors, fully supported by DisplayLink.

Microsoft it works with Surface or Surface 2 ..... not with Surface Pro, Pro 2, or Pro 3. I never tried it with any device other than MS.

It is not compatible with Surface RT units. I confirmed with tech. dept. I returned it. The packaging should have a better description

I simply connected the printer to my Win7 computer and allowed Windows to do the rest. It automatically installed it. Then, I went to the HP support website and downloaded the Win7 compatible firmware/software. Installed it and it was done. I had full use of all of the features. However, if you haven't already bought one, I advise against buying this particular model. My extensive review is on Amazon here.

fwiw, Windows 8.1 is a major upgrade, so see the Windows compatibility for this printer first.

It will work fine with Windows 8 (RT or standard), including the Microsoft Surface (RT and Pro) and basically anything that will accept a standard mouse.The programmable software also works in Windows 8, but not the RT version.

I'm not sure of what you're asking. What the {#HEYNOW#} do you think the Surface RT is running Windows 8.1 RT for? Fun? What the {#HEYNOW#} do you think 8.1 RT is for? Ripping people off? It's the ONLY way that Windows 8.1 can run on a tablet! Why would you ask such a question? Do we think that there's a "Special" plan by Microsoft to rip people off? SHEESH!

Sorry! My printer is not an all-in-one. It is a 2512. It works with windows 7 and Vista. It's the best printer I've ever owned.

I have a Surface RT and it works fine, I'm sure it will work with Surface 2 since it is a newer system.

Yes, my hubby just confirmed that it is compatible. We have it set up wireless, so we have 5 computers/laptops that print to it. The one thing he made clear is that you must load the "Setup CD-ROM U1.2" that comes with the printer into your computer. Windows 7 will not "find it" automatically. We LOVE this printer and we LOVE Window 7. Hope this helps..............

Joanne, We us this printer with our 2 laptops so I'm not sure about the Surface Pro from MS. One laptop is an Asus with Windows 8 (intel i5 processor) and the other is a Dell with MS Vista. the Asus has MS Office 2013 and the other MS Word 2007 (MS 2013 not compatible with Vista). We use it as a very convenient mobile printer/scanner in our business-very easy to transport and set up. Works great for travel too and fits into a wheeled mobile office suitcase. Hope this helps.

I used an HP printer with a USB connect. The computer found and loaded the drivers, no problem. I just had to go into the control panel and change the default printer.
