    Does a Kodak ESP3 printer work in Lucid?

    Hi

    I have a Kodak ESP3 all-in-one printer. No trace of it on www.openprinting.org/printers. Does it work in Lucid please?

    Thanks
    Bob

    Debian Testing(64bit) + XFCE4 AM2 5200+ ATI Radeon HD4350, 4gig RAM,320Gig and 750gig HDs

    what's the difference between an answer and a solution? An answer is what they want to hear, a solution is what they don't want to hear

    Re: Does a Kodak ESP3 printer work in Lucid?

    Thanks halitech, sorted! I'll paraphrase the process below for anybody following.

    How to install a printer driver for a Kodak ESP3 AiO:-

    Go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/cupsdriverkodak/files/

    32bit
    -----
    If you run 32bit take the easy route and download the c2esp08-1_i386.deb file (or latest) to Desktop, click on the file and install. Switch on printer and go to System>Administration>Printing to check all is in place.

    64bit
    -----
    If you run 64bit then you need to make the driver. Very easy, just more steps.

    Download the latest compressed tar file to Desktop. At time of writing this is c2esp08.tar.gz

    Extract to Desktop and a folder will appear called c2esp08.

    Before we make the file we need some other files to support the make. Open a terminal and
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install libcups2-dev build-essential cups
    CUPS should be installed already by default.

    Navigate prompt to the folder:-
    Code:
    cd Desktop/c2esp08
    Your prompt should look like this
    ~/Desktop/c2esp08$
    Now make your driver, first test the file set
    Code:
    make
    If error free then make the driver and install
    Code:
    sudo make install
    Switch on printer and go to System>Administration>Printing to check all is in place.

    MORE INFORMATION?

    Look at the INSTALL file in the downloaded folder.

    Outstanding! Works for 64bit Lucid, ESP5250

    Thanks very much - I've had this printer sitting in the box for 6 months, waiting for a driver to come available.

    Wow, truly outstanding. Used the c2esp12 and installed for use with Kodak aio 5300 in Maverick RC.

    I've had to switch to windows to use this printer for more than three years! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

    Thank you so much for the help. As you can see I am a very new user with Ubuntu. This process really just makes my decision to ditch Windows all the better. THANK YOU.
