> 24 hourI bought this in 2016. When I plugged it in, it acted like a flash drive and had a ready-to-use program called PKLITE10.exe. I ran it and it would not print communication error. This was on a windows 7 machine. I moved the printer to each of several computers/laptops in my house, and none worked until I got to the last one, my server, which was running Server 2012. It printed fine. So I left it connected to that machine and used it weekly, sometimes several times a week. The software is so simple to use, and in my opinion as a software developer with over 30 years experience, very intuitive and simple.... So I upgraded my server to 2019 because it was time :-) --- and now it doesnt print. It just says printer communication error. Just like when run on windows 7, etc... Here is how I solved the problem, and it now works with every computer in the house. The program PKLITE10.exe, on the built-in disk of the printer was dated approximately 2011. This version only works up until windows XP and does not seem to work with 7, 8, 10, or 11. I had to update the printer with a later version of the built-in software. I downloaded it from Brother, ran the transfer program, and it updated the printer. Sooo, if you want to update yours, here it how I did it. Go to brother and find the QL700 downloads page and scroll to the bottom and download P-touch Editor Lite Update Tool. run the program. If you get an error, hold down the little button on the printer next to the power button until the LED goes OFF. then re-run the program. Click the transfer button to transfer the new software to the printer. Mine took about 45 seconds. Then it said Successful. I unplugged the USB cable an held the printer power button to turn it off. Then turned it back on and plugged in the cable. If the little LED to the left of the status LED is NOT lit, hold down the little button under it until it lights. This enables the lite mode which means the printer acts like a flash drive as well as a printer, and the window pops up that has the printers built-in software. Note that the date of the PKLITE10.EXE file is now a lot more recent. Mine is dated 1/28/2015 it used to be dated 2011 or thereabouts. Anyway, the printer now works with any computer in the house, and does not require any software installation. Good luck and I hope this is useful to someone, took me hours and hours to figure out.

> 24 hourDoes what it claims quickly, easily. Simple to understand & set up; design software is intuitive and well thought out. I only wish the resolution were good enough to allow graphics and images.
