Does printmaster 18.1 work on windows 8

Yes. it certainly does. When my computer crashed and I had to replace it with Windows 8, I was not happy. Not just having lost everything, but because Windows 8 was quite different from my Windows XP. However, Printmaster 18.1 is basically the old familiar Printmaster I've loved over the years, but with some upgrades (more functions possible). I've had no problem using Printmaster 18 with my Windows 8.

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

My box states Version 23. All I know is it works well with my Windows 7 and Windows 8 laptops. I've used it for a few months and have had no issues with it. I have always likes using all the older versions of Print Shop over the years so that's why I bought the newest one because I upgraded my computers.

I am not sure if the printer works with Windows 8. You can check by going to http://www.lexmark.com

I have three computers running Windows 8.1 and there have been no issues at all with this printer.

I have no idea. Mostly it depends on how old your printer is. I have a cheap Lexmark X5470 that is a few years old that works well with it and it also worked well with my old Windows 7 computer. I would think you could google that model it to see if it it compatible with Windows 8.

I am running Windows 8.1. I used Printmaster to make invitations, place cards, and to address envelopes for a wedding reception. It worked very well, even though it did lock up a few times, causing me to have to restart my computer. So, not perfect, but workable.

We have used this printer with Windows XP, 7 and 8.1, I feel comfortable in saying that is printer will be OK with Windows 8.1 also. It is a very good printer. We have also used it as a fax machine with the right program.

Hi Orange. This may not be an adequate answer, since I'm running Win7-64bit, but the print server is strictly an IP device. The print queue must be set to LPR and will not work if set to the native Windows "RAW" communication. Not knowing Win8 details, I would guess that it would work if Win has an LPR server component. Also, it is very slow and I would recommend a better print server...if it's within your budget. I've found these inexpensive devices to be more trouble than their worth. Good luck.

It depends on the manufacturer. If you have a specific printer in mind, the best way to know if it is compatible with Windows 8 is to check the manufacturer's website and see if drivers were released. You can also check the Windows Compatibility Center to see if your printer is listed as compatible with Windows 8: http://bit.ly/Xa8R0z

I have MacBook Air with both osx and win 8.1 setup on same machine. Scanning and printing works just fine on both operating systems.

Every time windows did an update I had to reload 3.5 printshop in order to make it work properly. I got tired of doing that and took it back. I just used my printshop 21 and installed it on my windows 8 machine and it works. Altho when you run the printshop 21 installation it actually says it is not compatible and may not run. But I tried it anyway, and it worked. I have an HP laptop that is about 1.5 years old, running windows 8.1, with 16 gig of ram. So it is a fairly up to date machine.

I installed it on Windows 8 with noroblems and it works fine (Text and pictures). I didn't need to use the disk. Windows 8 did everything, as I remember it asked me if I wanted to install the printer monitor (status and ink level) and a diagnostic program. It was automatic. I hope you have the same experience that I did.

I have been unable to get this to work on my Windows 8 Desktop although it works just fine on my Windows 7 laptop. I recently upgraded to Windows 8.1 and can no longer print to my printer, etc. The folks at Microsoft would face jail time if they were in the banking industry.

I don't know about Windows 8.1, but it is slow and not user friendly on Windows 7. I had a Print Shop program before and that worked a lot better for me.

I have Windows 8.1 and it works fine. Have had this scanner for several years and it is amazing.
