1.I have a notebook with Vista and I just plug a u***** cable to the 三合一傳真打印機, 打印機 then started printing documents. You do not need to install printer driver to PRINT.
2. For 傳真 function, you just connect your machine(三合一傳真打印機) to a phone jack and it will do fax for you. I do not know how to use computer to fax documents though I know that can be done.
3. For Scanning, you need to install a software to your computer from your DVD/CD. It is not that difficult.
Good luck!
