Since there is no CD slot, I can't install my printer. Does anyone know how you will be able to print from the Surface RT?
 
Windows update finds the drivers for my printers. That's how I got everything working with Windows 8 Release Preview, pure plug and play.

Many printers will work just fine but others may not have driver support. At the very least I can tell you that networked Epson All-in-Ones and presumably mainstream inject printers are supported. On that front there is actually an RT compatible Epson Control Center app already in the Windows Store. There are also a HP scan control app and printer control app in the store as well - both are ARM/RT compatible.
 
I am hoping the epson 545 that I have works. It works good on the win7 notebook and it has win update drivers! It's wireless too! =)
