Q: kodak printer not responding on NEW IOS el capitan

Kodak left the printing market a few years ago; I doubt you will see updated drivers.

Maybe consider an AirPrint printer, so you are not reliant on drivers?

JUST FYI-

I was on the phone with Kodak for my ESP9250 Saturday for over an hour and I let them try a bunch of different fixes for the last IOS10 remotely.. They are working on a fix for El Capitan confirmed.. This may take a week or so they said. The good news is they are very responsive..  800-421-6699 call them and get a case number so you know when it is ready.

Not to be a sceptic, but  they also promised updated drivers after the sandbox issues with Yosemite.

I called the number you recommended.  Gave tech control, he basically uninstalled my printer, reinstalled it, had me drop the wi-fi and sign in again.  Bottom line: it works now.  YEA.  THANKS.
