Is this printer compatible with Windows 8.1? bought a new laptop and my older LaserJet 4100 will print but VERY slowly. Want to update.

Good question but I don't know. My suggestion is to view the printer on HP's website as it should have the answer, or call HP to inquiry. Since it is the newer version of the 4100, you would assume that it is compatible.

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.

I hooked an HP LaserJet 1100A to a Dell Inspiron Windows 7 and the printer worked just fine. When you plug the USB to your computer, make sure the printer is on and your computer will download the drivers needed to run your computer. I recommend to always us the same USB port when you plug your printer back into your computer.

I'm sorry I can't help. I use Windows 7. I can say this is one awesome all-in-one printer. I love it.

Yes, it will operate in Windows 8.1. I do not believe it is comparable to the old versions of Printmaster. I own the program and also an older version (which I loved), and the new program is a MAJOR step backwards in my experience. I stopped using it, it is so bad.

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.

I am running a HP LaserJet 4 with a Dell running Windows 7 Pro. It works very well for me.

The printer will probably work just fine with win 8 however the 7550 drivers will not work with versions newer than XP. Therefore, it is necessary to find an HP driver that is compatible with both the printer and win 8. I've had the same problem with win 7 and the 7550 and am using hp deskjet 5550 drivers. Still getting the same great output from the printer however the 5550 drivers do not support all the great features of this printer. So, try the hp deskjet 5550 drivers - well, that is if win 8 supports them.

Absolutely. I have Win8.1 on my Ultrabook and print to this machine on my network without issue. Samsung had just released new drivers for this printer in October, including a new PostScript driver for PDFs and printing from Adobe software. They also have a "universal" print driver. I've had the ML-3712 for over a year and I absolutely love the machine. Print quality is excellent and the thing is lightning fast. It is also super easy to set up on a network.

The only one that I can claim 100% compatibility with is Windows 7. We have yet to migrate our 6 locations over to Windows 8, so I can't answer whether it's compatible with that OS or not. I believe in the next quarter we will be moving everyone over to Windows 8. I can give an update at that point in time. Overall, the printer is a good workhorse and we've had no issues with it. Hope that helps. Dave

Yes it is. I have used it on Windows 8 and I am currently using Windows 8.1 and it is still hooked up. Thanks for asking!! Let me know if you have any other questions. It's a great little printer for 4*6 prints. Doesn't take up much space and you can even take it with you and plug your camera memory card in it and print anywhere (assuming you didn't forget the power cable).

this is an important question to have answered since many of the printers out there aren't supported and have made older models obsolete with Windows 8 (that's why I'm in the market for a new printer now).

I have had no problems with the printer once I downloaded the current driver from HP. Normally the drivers that come with the device are out of date by the time that the devices are produced, packed, and shipped. I never load from the install disk provided. Go to the HP support website type in your model number and serial number and you will find the newest drives. Download them and install them. Good luck!

It should. It worked for my laserjet 5 on my new win 8 computer. You will need to download the Microsoft drivers since they are not standard with the new computers. Those old HP printers just don't die. They have elephant lives. Slow but steady.

I believe it is. The software has instructions for MAC. Not sure of the versions, so I would check carefully before purchasing. It works great with Win 8, though I have not tried with 8.1. I have found that most printers do give the options for MAC when installing.

It depends on your printer. With some printers, the generic driver that Windows installs will be fine. In many cases, however, you will need to install the manufacturer's print drivers, which usually provide more options, and are generally better. In almost all cases, these are found on the manufacturer's website.
