    I cannot tell you how much I hate this laptop. It is in its own class of crap when it comes to other Asus I have (gamers). I bought this to be easy, load a couple 512 SSD in and do webdesign

    Two major flaws I just cannot figure out.

    1. I have a brother 9440CN Printer, works just fine on my Toshiba, HP and other Asus Laptop(s). When I loaded it up, first time a year ago, worked, Rebooted, would not print to the default. I delete (remove device) and each time it boots up, it will have the old, then copy 1, do it again, old, copy 1 copy2. No matter which I set as defualt, will not print each time. Print the first time, not the second or subsequent. HELP

    2. My camera face login is always upside down. Right on bootup, system goes to sleep say, hit space bar, I am upside down, did this from the start. Have updated all bios, drivers, nada.

    Thank you more professional than I.

    I've seen this before - it can be incredibly annoying. Try using Revo Uninstaller when you remove your printer software and driver. Revo will remove any leftover data, which (in theory) should subsequently remove your duplicates found in Devices and Printers. This at least takes care of the duplicates - getting the driver to work properly may take a workaround or two. ;)

    Does it show up upside down during any kind of video chat/conferencing software (such as Skype)? I don't think these webcams can really be physically installed in such a way that it would reflect an upside image, so this has to be software related. :confused:

    Still cannot get the printer to work. Well, when I delete everything and do not reboot, it will print one time on the latest load. Once I reboot, nada, all 4 that keep popping up one by one will not print.

    The Face logon, I have totally removed it, went back to Asus and got the same driver, loaded it again, not everything is upside down on logon, Before at least a restart or cold boot, it was right that time and not the rest. Now, upside down. I will load Skype or something and try that,.. Thanks,..

    You're welcome. :) I hope you can resolve the webcam issue.

    If you're running Windows 8, you may run into difficulties with drivers. If it's Windows 7 or older, just make sure you have the appropriate driver (32 bit v.s. 64 bit), and you may even need to download the driver software from the manufacturer's site for your printer (and maybe even for the camera, if applicable); that is, if you're not already doing that, rather than installing the driver from the disc that comes with the printer.
