print serving? The specs don't seem to mention it, but does anyone know if this will also serve as a print server?

it is a windows 2003 server os. If printer sofware supports it, you can install it. You have to remote into the box (not the desktop connector) and install the sofware. You then have to share the printer... keep in mind that you have to also provide additional drivers for any non server OS's (vista, xp, 32bit/64bit, etc).

I called Epson directly with this question, and the rep said "To be honest...." this printer isn't really designed to handle the "stiffer" paper, like cardstock for greeting cards or business cards. I appreciate their honesty! because I was all set to get this printer, but it turns out it isn't designed with one of the major functions I want. ((Weird -- it makes coloring book pages and prints on DVDs -- but won't print on cardstock?!)Back to the drawing board.....

I do not know. I have both Mac and Windows computers able to print to it. My guess you should be able to as an IP printer (Print to the IP of the print server in windows like I do for my Mac)

Thanks, Michele. I'm surprised, too by your comments about the colours. After being advised that the cartridges for the MX860 were very expensive and that the MX850 had problems connecting wirelessly, I ended up buying an Epson TX800FW. The few photos I've printed look ok to me. (I'm not a pro). It's been great to have a fax. One if its drawbacks is only one full-sized paper tray. I've yet to fully test out the machine.

Can't help on that, because I have a hard time making it work period. I have Windows XP, and it worked well for awhile, then started smearing, fading, skipping and otherwise giving me trouble. It still looks beautiful as a piece of furniture, though; I'm too "thrifty" to pitch it. Tried to have it scan a page an hour ago and it refused. I don't print very often, so the ink cartridges refuse to obey the printer, being dried up. With all the time I spend trying to get it to work, I could write documents in long hand quicker. Best of luck to you, Tom! George Strella, Tulsa

Does that printer use Google Cloud Print? If not, it is unlikely it will work. You don't connect printers to this laptop as you do in a Windows/MAC world. No drivers, no physical connections.

You have to purchase the print server...$100 (Amazon) ouch. I had a "linksys printserver" that I could use Win XP to print with. But Windows 7 does not work with the linksys printserver. So I had to purchased the Dell adaptor (printserver, wireless card) I monitored the net for about 6 month's ...You will pay list (ouch) as I did...But now that the pain has faded..I love it. This is the best printer I have ever had..Quality A+ Speed A+ and last but not least Cartridge replacement cost $79-$82 for a 4-Pack (all colors) I almost bought a Brothers at Costco..till I seen the cost of replacement cartridges. Any questions please ask...Jim You have to purchase the print server...$100 (Amazon) ouch. I had a "linksys printserver" that I could use Win XP to print with.

I originally bought this as well and had to return it. It does not support your needs, if you have a multi-function device. The print server that does is the TP Link TL PS310U. I have a Lexmark X7350 and the TP-Link TL PS310U did work for printing and scanning. I am using a Windows 7 Pro 64 bit OS. I had to update the firmware on the TP-Link device to the latest. Trick is to install the printer as a USB device on your computer as the drivers were finicky. Then you can print and scan via the TP Link interface. This will work for your Desktop and laptop but not your iOS devices.

Thanks for responding! In spite of the lack of reviews, I've decided to give this printer a try ... I'll let you know how that choice turns out!

I don't know. There are lots of these printers in the field now. You could send a file to a service house or the manufacture andtest your file, most likely for free.

Good morning. We use this printer for daily generic printing in the Golf course maintenance facility @ the Woods Hole Golf Club. We're not power users and super high quality output is not that high on our list.It's a good printer and the wireless is flawless. TF

That is an interesting price point! If you think their ink price is disgusting take a look at Ricoh's. Its laser cartridges easily add up to a downpayment on a new house! I did finally get Canadian support on the machine on the issue of making the network server feature work (use Firefox not Chrome if you are on a Mac) and once I networked it, it has not power-failed ever again. The internet server has to REMAIN ON all the time. Don't know how long that will last but it has turned out to be a gem for its low price tag.

It depends on what kind printer and a app that you can find for it. I know with my printer ( Canon MX472 ) that it does fulfill all my printing needs. A shout toWolVol for a great netbook!

I am not the seller of the printer. Amazon asked me to help answer General information for you.

It only prints 1 page at a time on W7, not continuous printing. I installed XP on my 2nd hard drive, and it prints perfectly. So, no to W7, but ok with XP!!!

this is a wired print server, I have never tried printing wireless but in theory I think it could work as long as the print server in plugged in your wireless router.

Yes, If you can get it back on line. My printer would go off line and it got so i could not get it registered with google cloud print! I gave up on my chromebook.
