Q: My Kodak printer doesn't work with Yosemite

My wife and I share a Kodak ESP7250 printer connected with Wi-Fi.   Since we upgraded to Yosemite, we haven't been able to print any documents.

 

I have gone to the printer utility and was able to print a test page.

 

But when I print a test item from Notes or text edit, the printer takes a long time, seemingly printing one line, waiting and then another line.   Except the paper is blank, and the printer icon tells me that an unexpected error has occurred.   I then open print the print utility which tells me that I don't have a connection.

 

I can shut everything down and repeat the steps above.   The error my printer icon shows comes up before it laboriously prints the blank page.

 

I downloaded the Kodak utilities which tell me that my drivers are up to date.

 

I waited for the Kodak chat on its queue until it finally told me nobody was available, so maybe they know the trouble.

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

    My usual printer went down and is in the process of being replaced, so we pulled our Kodak ESP 9 out of the closet (we haven't used it in years), and of course we had to jump through a 1,000 hoops to get it ready to print.  Updating the drivers wasn't doing anything and the unexpected error message kept coming up over and over. (although the printer would take the Print Test Page command from my iMac, so we new it was a software issue)

     

    We followed these instructions exactly as they appear, and we immediately got full printer functionality.

     

    Thank you so much for such a helpful reply...my customers and my business are very grateful!

     

    Have a great day!
