Hiti has announced a Windows 8 driver update for the 510 series printers. The new drivers are Windows 8 certified and digitally signed. What does that mean? No more work-around to install them on Windows 8 computers (yes you do not have to turn off digital signatures).
You can download the updated drivers on their website at http://download.hiti.com/files_driver.asp
