dropping wireless signal busy error when using ip

Hello everyone. First post and new mac user. I have made the switch to mac and have left my pc for my children:)
I am trying to connect to a kodak esp 5200 wireless printer.
I am using an airport extreme router.

I can connect my printer to my wireless network.
I download the software to my mac and add the printer via syst pref-print/fax and then add it with +
Printer name comes up with a picture and the bonjour

I successfully add the printer then when I print or open the kodak software, the blue wireless lights begin to blink instead of staying steady. nothing will print and I lose my wireless connection.

Any insight would help.

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Well-intended long shot, based on a similar experience with a different printer:

1. You may have only set your printer up for a wired connection ie USB. Happened to me! Try this: Go to system preferences>Print and Fax. Hover over your printer icon on the left>hold down control key and select' reset printing system'

Hopefully your wired printer option and a wireless one will show up ( mine comes up with the printer name followed by (IP) )

Regards


Ian
