HP software may not be the best but they do make it available on their website. Netbooks usually don't ship with alot of ram so you may want to get the printer driver only.

Yeaah, apparently NONE of the netbooks that Asus advertises with USB 3.0 are actually available with USB 3.0, at least not to Americans anyway. I think it's dumb that they don't allow you to configure your own computer on their site like other manufacturers, such as Sony and Toshiba. That would avoid so much confusion.

Hi. If your netbook has Bluetooth built in, your should be able to pair it with your speakers. Otherwise I would go on the Asus website and locate the Bluetooth drivers for the USB adapter and download it. Alternately, borrow or buy an external optical drive and load the drivers from the ASUS CD.

Gosh - it's been so long I don't remember having drivers for the device itself. Just printer drivers. There was software to find & configure the device and create the "fake" USB ports, although I remember it having a web UI as well if the UNC shares was good enough. The "fake" USB ports connection had a limitation where it didn't handle large files very well. This thing was tied to Windows XP and just didn't work well that I tossed it in the trash years ago when I stopped using XP. To sum up - you are looking for the Software that creates the local ports on your PC, then you use the Printer drivers for the printer. But you can also access the device via File Shares (UNC) which doesn't require the software. Gosh - it's been so long I don't remember having drivers for the device itself. Just printer drivers.

I am waiting for an ASUS netbook myself... Know from experience that bloatware is any software you won't need. You may have several "trial" software packages that work after you send the developer $$ for a license key. This happens with any pc or laptop manufacturer. If you open something and it asks you to go to a web site with credit card in hand, my advice is "Unless you are absolutely sure you will use the software", go to Add-Remove programs in the control panel and remove it from your system. Sometimes these packages will have an uninstall button or tab to simplify this process. If you aren't going to use it, get rid of it. Space on a netbook is premium so clean it up and limit it to what you will use. I plan to limit mine to spyware detector, anti-virus package, and a small office package (i.e. word processor, spreadsheet, etc) I personally use Open Source software - it's free. Check this out on the internet. OpenOffice.org. Mozilla.org, etc... Read up on it first.

Copy the software from the CD to a flash drive and the plug the flash drive into the ASUS and youre good to go. Works for me. I also purchase a little slim CD/DVD burner on ebay for about 46 bux. it plugs into two of the usb points, one for data and one for power. It's about 1/2" thick and just a little bigger the a CD.

Download an updated driver from hp. But it's hit or miss. Doesn't always work.I eventually used a cable to print.

Just received the MX860 printer and have to install on a new Windows 7 machine. Anyone who has installed this printer on a Windows 7 machine and can provide details of how they did it would be appreciated. I have downloaded all the Windows 7 drivers/software to a thumbdrive. What next? Thanks in advance.

It will definitely work with your laptop. Regarding the printer it depends whether it has either wifi connection or Ethernet connection (network cable).

I odered one to use with our Asus netbook but it only worked once. I am not sure if the problem is with the device or the computer. They just don't seem compatible. We used it to download software.

I bought the printer for my son's Dell computer. He has an old windows operating system which I believe is XP . None the less the printer does work well with his computer. I hope this helped .

Yes, you will download the software from the net. This package basically just has a code that you enter and a set of instructions. I also used this to upgrade a netbook that did not have a dvd/cd-rom.

I tried to use Windows 7's built-in software installer, but it was unable to find the drivers for this printer. I think the CD might be necessary for Windows 7 or 8.

Larry,I made my Dell 3100cn(network) color laser printer wireless by buyingthe ASUS RT-n1 3U Router. ($199 on Amazon). It's not a cheap solution, but it works. You have to make sure you set it up in the router mode rather than as anaccess point or repeater.Y0ur printer should be a network printer, connected to the ASUS router with a short CAT 5 cable. Of course, yes you will still also need a wireless adapter for your computer to thencommunicatr with the ASUS router.

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 to WolVol for a great netbook!

If the interface and size are equivalent to a standard DVD/CD drive on a windows laptop than yes. I have only worked on Windows netbooks and laptops. Just get the dimensions for Asus dvd cdrw laptop drives and compare it to yours. That is the best info I can give you as the last one I installed was in that make of laptop.
