I have a HP oficejet 4500 wireless scanner linked wireless to a toshiba Satellite C675 laptop with Windows 7. Is this a good hardware base for S/O?

Generally, Toshiba does a good job of communicating with peripherals, and HP shouldn't have any issues as the AIO has scanning specific software. I would download a free PDF creator such as Primo PDF and print to this, verses the printer, which in turn creates a PDF document, which will insert right into SO database with ease. I have found that certain documents from the Internet will print to Primo PDF, whereas they normally take forever to translate through the browser and print for scanning purposes. By printing to Primo PDF, you also eliminate the need to scan to pdf.

Yes you can. I have two of these scanners in two different offices. They are wired into the system and available to any computer on the network that has the local workstation.They work on wireless or hard wired but they cannot use both at the same time.

I have the HP Envy 4500 and it works great with this computer. All wireless printers should work with this and other chromebase and chromebook computers as well. This was my first time using wireless printing and I love it. It wasn't all that difficult to set up the wireless printing, even for a non computer geek type like me.

I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate and the scanner works well. I also use ReadIris Pro 12 software and it functions correctly.

Yes! Have just set it up with our Brother wireless printer, MFCJ450DW. Easily recognized and no problems. I would recommend the purchase of an external cd drive. I bought the Samsung USB 2.0 Ultra Portable External DVD Writer Model SE-218CB/RSBS which will enhance the functionality of this laptop for not much $$. VERY pleased with this laptop!

It works well with the Windows 7 on my Laptop. I have not had any problems moving our wireless stuff from one version to another version previously. So unless Windows 8 is different in that way, I doubt that there would be a problem.

I use the scanner on a Vista PC but the Fujitsu web site says Windows 7 and 8 are supported, see link. http://www.fujitsu.com/global/support/computing/peripheral/scanners/drivers/fi-5x20c.html

Me too. I saw one review that said he attached it to his Windows 7 computer and no problems. I am hoping this is true. My three-year old HP scanner will not work with Windows 7 and HP has no plans to develop a driver for their older (barely) models.

It should. I've upgraded many a laptop with newer wireless mini PCI cards and have only ever had one machine come up and say that the hardware was unsupported and that was an hp.

I'm using HP Office Jet Pro 8600 wireless, no problems, be careful to indent left margin at least .61" .

I have one 64 bit vista hp desktop, 3 x 32 bit vista hp laptops, and one vista ibm laptop all connected to the printer through my wireless network. Not only do they all work fine, but i love that you can scan to the ip address and access a scan on any computer. My trick was to have the "dedicated" desktop that has the solution center on it. Each laptop had the drivers installed via my network, so we did not use the cd for any of them - just the desktop. If there is a problem you have to use the desktop (which is always there anyway) to use the solution center. But we all share printing and it works for a whole household of students (one phd student).

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).

Basically yes, but before you start check for all drivers on Toshiba support. Network, wifi, display etc. Otherwise you might face weird issues. Second make sure you have windows 7 OEM disk created just in case for backout plan.If you can install on separate hard drive it would be best.

Yes. I'm using it with an HP laptop. Sometimes, for scanning, I have to use a USB hookup, but the printer comes with a hookup cord.

I own both, my wife uses the HP100 and I use the HP 470 with my Toshiba laptop and carry it on business travel. It, the HP470 has never failed me.My wife has no complaints. I use it wired, not wireless. My 470 is black her's is chrome, that seems to be the only difference....Good Luck

Absolutely. I have had no problems connecting all manner of wireless items to this laptop.

It can scan via the wireless connection. You have to open the HP Solution Center on your computer. Then scan the document. I believe you can only connect and therefore save the scan to on computer. Check out the online HP manual at http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01669504.pdf
