Get my wireless all in one printer to work with windows 8

Here are the minimum details needed to answer this kind of question:

1. Operating System :
Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Vista?
2. Printer make/model:
(this is important to determine the wireless properties of printer)
3. Network Connection:
(is the laptop connected to the same network as the printer)

If you are working with a new printer (see item 2) and you have a network on which you have your notebook connected, there are so many possible ways to connect the printer to the network that it's hard to say.

If you are working with an established printer that has wireless services running, you may need to know either the Network Name of the printer or the IP Address of the printer.

Your best bet is to make use of hp's extensive Wireless Printing Center (see link below).

Wireless printing center

You need to connect the printer directly to your laptop using a USB cable first (and print one page to test it).Windows 8 will automatically search the printer driver.

Try resetting your print spooler que and restarting service. You can download a batch script to do this automatically. Reset Printer Spooler Tool for Windows Vista 7 and 8 Appuals

If this doesn't works, then try to reconnect your printer to the router and add it back to the computer.

you need to download the drivers so it will be recognized by the computer. go to lexmark support.go to downloads section,find model number and look for win8 driver..

SETTING UP A WIRELESS PRINTER WITHOUT A WIRELESS ROUTER - WINDOWS 7
Install Virtual Router first "Turn any Windows 7 or Windows 2008 R2 Computer into a Wifi Hot Spot."
EditByBSEditor: Virtual Router turns any Windows 7 or Windows 2008 R2 Computer into a Wifi Hot SPOT using Windows 7's Wireless Hosted Network (Virtual Wifi) technology.
The Wireless Network Create/shared with Virtual Router uses WPA2 Encryption, and there is not way to turn off that encryption. This is actually a feature of the Wireless Hosted Network API's built into Windows 7 and 2008 R2 to ensure the best security possible.
You can give your "virtual" wireless network any name you want, and also set the password to anything. Just make sure the password is at least 8 characters. http://www.brothersoft.com/virtual-router-327895.html Then install Connectify-Me Connectify is an easy to use software router for Windows 7 computers. After downloading and installing the lightweight application, Connectify utilizes your computers' built in Wi-Fi card to wirelessly share any available Internet connection: a cable modem, a cellular card, or even another Wi-Fi network. Other Wi-Fi enabled devices including laptops, smart phones, music players, and gaming systems can see and join your Connectify hotspot just like any other Wi-Fi access point and are kept safe and secure by password-protected WPA2 Encryption. http://www.connectify.me/ Then reboot computer

yes. your laptop can be upgraded to windows 7 but make sure you have with you your original cd installer for your motherboard. also, visit the toshiba's website to see if there are updates and patches for windows 7 compatibility with your hardware.

Purchase the wireless networking USB connector...Install the software onto your laptop and if your laptop has wireless connections already, it shoudl automatically pick up the printer. If not you need to also purchase a wireless card for your computer.
