I have a Kodak esp 3.2s All in One printer. The software is 32 bit and will not work under Catalina. No up to date printer drivers seem to be available from Kodak. Any solutions or just dump the printer? No mention of Kodak on Apple support pages at all. BTW i have tried using image capture and Preview to scan but both hung 'waiting for scanner'

Just checked with the Kodak helpline in the UK and am told that my Kodak AiO printer ESP 5250 is now end of line and there are no 64 bit drivers available. They're sending me links to possible help sites but say only that these might work. So basically throw it away and buy a new one! Am trying to get a discount arguing that in these green days discarding a perfectly good machine goes against the grain. Not holding my breath though!

You could try adding the printer again, using either the Generic PS or PCL ppd. One of those may work with limited functionality. If neither of those works, getting rid of the printer and getting an AirPrint printer, so you're not reliant on drivers, is probably the best bet. Hope this helps.
Well the printer developed a problem so I cut my losses and bought a Canon Pixma MG5750 instead. No support issues with Catalina!
I should have said that I haven't yet upgraded to Catalina. I think I can probably get the actual printer to work but its the other applications eg Scan that I'm concerned about.
Hi NickH19
thanks for reply. AFAIK Kodak don’t make consumer printers anymore.
Thanks for the update on Kodak printer 3.2. Wish I had found this post sooner. Just purchased ink at $35 usd to use with MacMini. Printer was recognized, able to download software but would not install program. AirPrint here I come.
