Anyone have Windows 8 &amp; been able to fix this printer's problem of not printing out about every 3rd line of a document?

No, I have windows 7. A question, have you updated the HP with the latest software and "HP Solution Center" ? This helped with issues with windows 7 not working correctly. Hope this helps.

Dear C.... I have windows 7 and it works perfectly .... But I have the luck to have a computer expert in my back pocket ( so to speak ) and I am sure that he could get it to work on 8 ( if I had it ) I like 7 and will stay with windows 7 The printer is grand ... only eats black ink like a voracious hungry animal hope that this helps you

I have not used Windows 8 so I cannot answer. However, I have used this printer for years with both Mac and PC,s with no problem. I hope this helps.

There is no answer, all it says is that answer lies with the software. The disk says my printer and he disks have a problem. Does not say how to fix the problem.

Do you sometimes print to another printer (e.g. at work/home)? There's a setting in Preferences / Printers that defaults to "last printer used" and that might be messing things up for you. If that's the case, the default can be changed to this printer.

I am using it on 2 Windows 8 notebooks. When I configured the actual print server I used a Windows 7 desktop, so I can't say the entire setup was done completely on Windows 8. However, the notebooks are printing to that server from Windows 8. I don't see any reason why I couldn't have originated the entire setup using Windows 8.

I just got a new computer with windows 8 and the printer worked without installing any drivers. I only used the printing function so am not sure if everything else would work or not.

Yes. Shouldnt be a problem but every setuo is different. Only had a problem on windows 8 with the software i used but could have been the application and not the physical printer

Try turning off 2 sided button on printer Try going to Devices and Printers from Windows Start menu. Right click on printer preferences; click advanced and turn off two side properties. Then if neither works must say I have had help from their customer service. Good Luck

yes it is but windows 8 sucks big time. also lexmark tech support leaves something to be desired.seems that printer uses color ink in printing black and white documents. if color ink is outand black is ok, it will not print a black and white page. must go in to settings and switch to black only. LEXMARK TECH SUPPORT TOLD ME I NEEDED TO BUY 3 NEW COLOR CARTRIDGES TO BE ABLE TO PRINT ANYTHING. a fellow at WALMART told me about switching settings.

Not much help for your particular problem but seriously consider dumping the printer. I had one and found endless problems with it. It is undoubtedly the worst printer I have ever purchased. Eventually I replaced it. Sorry about your problem but I can only advise based on my experience.

I had the same issue. I was able to print using "print" from the "file" menu.

I'm very happy with the printer. I have no issues whatsoever. I am using Windows 8.1.

I suspect that this is an issue with the word processing software that you're using. As an experiment, try taking the document that you are trying to print to another printer to see if the results are different. Maybe ask a friend who has a different printer and send your document via e-mail? Printers follow format codes in the documents they print - they don't have the ability to over-ride software commands. At least not that I know of.

Sounds like your settings need to be changed back to a paper setting. Go into the settings on your printer and change it there.

I'm having the same problem with 14 month old printer. Seems as if thousands of users are having this issue. HP not responsive about it. Avoid this printer.

I am having the same issues, as are others, so it is not just your printer. It works fine when the print command comes from a PC running Windows, but does not work with a Mac. This is pretty sad since I purchased it directly from an Apple retail store specifically to run on my Mac.
