any software issues: do anyone know if there are there any software issues with this printer?

Mechanically, the printer works fine. However, the software is horrible and it has a lot of bugs in it. There is no way to install the software without the massive amounts of bloatware that it comes with. The software also corrupted my computer, as the drivers that come with it are terrible. You can confirm much of this by goggling the printer yourself. These problems are common with some, but not all HP printers.

I've had software conflict and couldn't print out. After all I returned the product. I use windows latest software. Hope it helps.

I purchased this printer today. I'm using it with a Mac and wireless networking. Everything works fine except the Scanning Software. When I try to start the software it says "Epson Scan cannot be started..." I can't even open the software let alone get it to work. I've deleted and reloaded the software from scratch on two occasions without luck. I also downloaded the software from Epson for Snow Leopard and installed that, along with the latest driver from Apple. Still no luck.Can anyone offer some advice?

The software gets loaded on the local workstation and then the device prints. It does not work with other software to my knowledge. I only used the software that came with the device. It is very much like a regular printer

No. I have had this printer since Dec of 2006 and it still works well..although I am starting to have a few slight issues with it. Ive been amazed at how long it has worked well.

I have not had a single problem with this printer in any way. It also prints directly on CDs. I have scanned photos and documents all have turned out great. Best printer I have ever had.

Your lucky if it prints at all. The software provided has never made it print anything for me without 15-20 minutes of grief.

Maybe you can find an answer from the manual you can download. I bought one of these printers and had to return it and purchase another one that works properly. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Haven't had any issues that would require contacting for support. So far the printer keeps printing when one gets low. Haven't gotten to the point of trying to print with one empty.

I agree its a great printer. works with Mac OS 10.9.2 when I am on that network which is primarily windows 7 & 8 machines. I have had no issues printing from either microsoft office or pages/numbers. It is a higher speed / B&W; printer that I think does well on shades of grey images. I also have a Brother 9840 color printer that I have no issues connecting to, scanning or printing to in a wireless configuration as well as a Brother 2270, also wireless. The 6180 has, in my opinion, the best performance/price ratio of the B&W; printers.

I've had mine for several years too. But I've never had the error. Couple of thoughts. Be sure the green light on the front is lit before you start. You might try reinstalling the software from scratch. I am able to print using my netbook in my den and printing 3 rooms away with no problems. I'm on Windows 7; I know nothing about Windows 8.

The OKI 431 is the best printer I have ever had, and I have had no compatibility issues. I would suggest calling their toll-free support number and have them talk you through the set-up if you are having problems.

I don't know. I've used it for about 3 years and have not had to make any software or firmware changes. I did have a small issue with the printer lid cutting off the ink supply, so I simply cut away a bit of plastic. The setup has saved me hundreds of dollars and has been a fabulous help. Seldom have any ink supply issues.

Try opening the printer settings from the computer. Also try the settings from the printer itself. Maybe try shutting it off and on.

The software you use should not be an issue. As long as your computer has a USB port, the printer should work nicely.

Ruth, I have seen this problem in the past with other printers, so it would not have been an issue for me this time HAD it happened. I am pleased to say that NO ink error messages have occurred after purchasing and installing this! I hope you are as fortunate should you purchase it.
