I have used Kodak products (cameras and printers) since I retired. I did recently tried a HP printer and it was too expensive for ink and so slow. Since I print out newsletters for the community I live in, it is important to me to have a decent print speed. So the new HP printer is sitting on the table ready to donate to someone and I am back to Kodak. This one is probably my 5th printer since 1998. I print out hundreds of photos each year - it's my hobby.

I have tried everything to get this printer to hook up to my computer but have not found anything that works yet. I bought ink for it and did get a test page printed and seems to work ok but will not connect to my computer. I have windows ten any help would be appreciated.

I decided to break away from the HP's and Epson's and go for the Kodak printer. My first impression, prior to buying it was that this printer is probably geared more towards photo printing. Being that this is an All-In-One printer, I had to evaluate all functions to be fair. Let's begin with packing. The printer was very well packed with tape in all the right places. The printer was somewhat Weighty, and that can only be a good thing. I'm old school and when stuff has some weight to it, it's usually decent. The quick start guide was very clear and easy to follow. The cartridge carrier was well built and solid. The upper and lower paper trays seemed average in girth. The scanning lid was nicely made as well as the access door to the guts of the unit. So far, so good. Now for the good stuff. The control panel pops up at an angle so that if you set the printer up down low, you can easily see the controls. Very nice! The connectivity of this printer is where the magic is. You name it, it has it. Wireless, USB, Ethernet, Card Reader...Just awesome! My setup is a cable modem and wireless router. I ran an ethernet (cat5) cable from the printer to the router. Now I'm able to print wireless from this laptop and from the desktop in the spare room. The software that comes with the printer needs to be installed on each computer that will send print jobs to the printer. The software install was cake. Simple and easy. Print quality is impressive and fast enough for home and small office use. The top paper tray holds the photo paper and it's selectable from the print dialog window. I had to give 4 stars because there was a paper jam. The machine might be a little quick trying to feed paper. Overall, this is a very fine printer and an excellent value.Read full review
Kodak will set it up for you; otherwise it's time-consuming to figure out.. My experience with other ESP 7s is that they last 2-3 years and then you throw it out. Used ones are always available, so if you are stuck with Kodak ink cartridges, buy another used one. BTW, if you need a new print head, Kodak will send you one at no cost. I don't know if other manufacturers do this, but a genuine Kodak printhead goes for around $18 on eBay.

I set-up this printer as soon as it arrived and it only took a few minutes. The set-up process directions were very informative and helpful. Once I had everything up and running (mine is connected wireless)I could not believe how fast and clear this thing prints. Black letter prints are amazingly fast and clear. Color prints also are very fast compared to past printers I've had and very clear. I used it to print out some very detailed maps and I was totally amazed at how crisp and clear every detail was. Used the copier a few times also and again, not a single complaint. I haven't had a chance to use the photo printer yet but I'm sure with a name like Kodak and the quality of other Kodak products that I own or have owned in the past,I will not be disappointed. All-in-all,if you are looking for a high quality printer that's an awesome deal for the money (and the ink won't cost an arm & a leg)look no further than this printer.Read full review
