Here's what happened to me on our wifi printer. I couldn't install the driver cd on the win8.1 laptops, but it worked on my win 7 gaming rig. On the windows 8.1 laptops I had to go into the control panel under printer and device and click add device and go through the process. It's been working no issues ever since
