    Has anyone been able to make it work in Windows 10?  I tried the Windows 7 drivers but it's doesn't follow the signing requirements forced by Windows 10.  I was hoping to use the Win7 driver, set it up as a network printer, then switch to USB just like in Windows 8.1.

    Update September 1, 2016: It is possible to make this work in Windows 10. If you have a newer computer that has UEFI instead of a BIOS you must disable SecureBoot (search online for how). After disabling SecureBoot and getting back into Windows, open a command prompt as Administrator, then type:

    bcdedit.exe /set nointegritychecks on and pressEnter.

    Restart Windows and then install the driver. Follow the other instructions in this thread to install the printer as a network printer, then after you install, plug in the USB cable from the MC160N and change the printer port to USB. In my testing I changed the properties of the driver EXE to run in Windows compatibility mode, but I don't think that was necessary to achieve success.  After all this I have a functional MC160N printer that survives a restart.  Good luck!

    Note: As a general rule, disabling SecureBoot is a bad idea for overall security. I understand the risk and would only disable this feature on a personal system, never a work computer.

    You can download the driver from the manufacturers website:

    There are no native Windows 8 drivers, so you will have to use the available Windows 7 drivers which should work with Windows 8:

    32 bit:

    64 bit:

    To find out if you are running 32 or 64 bit Windows 8:

    Press Windows key + X on your keyboard

    Click System

    Look under System Type:

    I called tech support. The Win7 driver works great if you are printing over a network. If you have the MC160n connected over USB, you have to mess around a bit.

    Download the Win7 driver. When asked whether it's a network or USB Printer, say Network.

    On the next screen, enter 192.168.100.100 in the search box for the IP address.

    You will get a warning that asks "Printer cannot be found. Install anyway?" Say yes.

    After the printer installs, go to the Devices & Printers Control Panel

    Double-click on the printer. This will open the print queue.

    Select Printer: Properties from the menu for the print queue.

    Under Properties, select "Ports"

    Select the USB Port with the biggest number. Then print a test page. If it does not work, select the next-smallest number. (There are usually only 2 or 3, so this won't take too long).

    Following these steps, I got the printer to work.

    If you go into the control panel, there should be an area that says Driver details somewhere. You should be able to find things from there.
