I am looking for a B/W AIO Laser printer. I found one but the specs mention that the reqd OS should be Windows Server 8.
Can I use this printer also with Windows 7 Home Premium?
Regards, Teunis

Re: Windows Server 8 or Windows 7
There is no Windows Server 8 as far as I know - the "server" version of Windows 8 is named Windows Server 2012. Or did you mean Windows Server 2008?
Best wishes,
Hans

I really don't know. In the specs it said Windows Server 8.
But would it make a difference? I can hardly believe it.

Re: Windows Server 8 or Windows 7
It would be Samsung Xpress M2875FW or Brother MFC-L2720DW, basically a B/W AIO Laser printer, withautom duplexing and wireless as a replacement for my HP AIO 6500 and Laserjet 1320N. Scanning would be colour. Duplex scanning is much more expensive, so I do 2 runs and assemble into one pdf with the freeware PDFSAM. I would loose the colour facilities of the 6500, but that facility is too expensive anyway as I almost always use B/W.
Samsung can handle all OS, Brother I don't know.
