Comments (5)Hi Mikie, I sure hope you or someone else knowledgable is around. I'm at my daughter's house. I entered the address (numbers from above) in the address bar on the PC and went through the set up and then re-booted the PC and re-brought up the browser. On the laptop, when I click on the wirless connections icon on the tool bar it shoulw the network is available. It also shows some others. It says the network requires a network key (WEP) and I entered the same one as I'd entered on the PC, and click connect and the box disappears. But when I bring up internet explorer, it says no connection. No matter what I do, and I've tried a bunch of things, I still get no connection on the browser on the PC. Please Help!! Thanks, Alice...See MoreWhopee! I set up my wireless printer...
Comments (9)PAM.. a quick word of advice about Kodak Printers...If you plan to print photos make sure you get genuine Kodak photo paper. The reason is because the Kodak Photo paper has a bar code type system printed on the backside of the paper and as it feeds the paper into the printer it automatically tells the printhead what type & grade of paper your using so it can adjust the ink output correctly. If you buy your photo paper at Walmart the price of the Kodak paper is about the same as the price of the HP paper, but I can assure you, you will see a total differenec in the quality of the output photos. Also, for buying ink cartridges check ebay..At Staples a 10C color cartridge for my printer is $32 and its about $27 at Walmart, but I buy two packs of genuine new Kodak 10c cartridges on ebay for $23 to $25 with free S&H. Here is another trick..do not buy 5x7 photo paper. You can print a 5x7 horizontally across the top of a sheet of 8x10 or 8.5 x 11 paper, then input that sheet again, with the black end first and you can get a second 5x7 on the same sheet. I got my Kodak printer 2.5 yrs ago, and the first time I printed a photo on it I was blown away. The output quality was better than what I was getting at the Walmart or CVS photo centers with their commercial printers and according to Kodak their printers use Dye's instead of ink and the photos are archive quality which won't fade like many other printers do. All I know is I have about 50 prints that I printed with my machine hanging on my living room wall where they get full sunlight every afternoon and there is no sign of fading on any of them....See MoreWhat printer do you use to print your photos?
Comments (9)Last August I moved from Ohio to Massachusetts. Jan & I planned on taking about 3 weeks for the trip so we could get in some sightseeing photo time on the way. For the trip I packed my computer tower, 3 DSLR's and about 8 lenses plus an assortment of other odds & end. The remainder of my equipment was packed and shipped with an anticipated delivery date of 4 to 6 week. For my photo business I usually deliver the end item in digital format on a memory card or I have prints made through Adorama but I did need a new monitor for my computer so about a day after arriving in Massachusetts Jan and I went to Staples and got a nice flat screen(I had been using one of the old desktop boat anchors..LOL). Jan is just a beginner at photography and she said she wanter to get a photo printer for her computer, so we looked around to see what our options were. One a display in the isle they had the Kodak ESP 7250 All-in-one on sale. Normal list for the wireless model $129 and the hard wire model $99 less 25% for the next 2 days. I didn't know a thing about Kodak printers but in my mind it had three things going for it. 1.It was the cheapest printer in the store, 2. It is advertised at using the cheapest ink, 3. Would Kodak put their name on a photo printer that doesn't do a descent job of printing photos? When I got it home rather than mess with a detailed Wifi setup I just plugged in a USB cable from the printer to my router. Inserted the setup disc and sat back. Within moments I was watching a setup video that said it was all set up and went on to explain the features. Two paper trays. The top tray will handle up to 5x7 photo paper or business envenlopes and the bottom tray handles up to 8.5x11 legal size bond or photo paper. When your printing photos it will ask you which size you want and select the paper automatically. I had a pack of 8x10 generic photo paper so I loaded a sheet, went to my pictures and pulled up a photo then hit print. A couple clicks as it loaded the paper then it went silent. "What is wrong" I thought? About 10 to 15 seconds later I got my answer. nothing wrong, it just prints so quiet you can't hear it running till the finished print pops out. I then checked the print, and to say I was not happy would be an understatement. I can only eplain it in one word...trash. The print had way too much ink, was still wet and actually smeared when I touched it then the thought hit me, those are new ink catridges and usually you have to run a test print to set up the print heads. I checked the book, and sure enough, there is an easy test print to run, but I found something even more interesting. You only need to run the test print if you use non-Kodak photo paper. So here is the catch I thought. All genuine Kodak photopaper has a bar code printed on the back of the paper that tells the printers processor how to set the print head for that piece of paper. This means you can easily switch from gloss to semi-gloss or matt without changing the setup, but how much does genuine Kodak paper cost? To my complete surprise, while Kodak Paper is a bit high in Staples, at WalMart it is the same or cheaper than HP photo paper. When I began running prints on genuine Kodak paper I could not believe my eyes. The prints look better than those that we had printed at Walmarts 1hr service. To get a good test of the prints I selected 6 photos and put them on a memory card, then I printed them on this machine. I then took the memory card to 4 different 1hr photo service places around town and had them printed again, being careful to mark the back of the photos to know where they were printed. I then took all the photos to the photoclub meeting at our senior center and spread them on a table and asked everyone to select which they thought looked the best. Over 90% of the people who participated selected the prints from this printer. The printer also has built in memory card readers so it can be used as a stand alone printer, and the Wifi model will work directly from Ipods & Cell phones. Would I recommend this printer? Absolutely YES. in fact since I bought this one over half the people in our photo club have also bought one. I primarily use 4x6 paper, which is $7.00 per 100sheet for brilliant glossy white at Walmart. I have not priced the ink at Walmart but at Staples the ink is $19.89 for the color and $9.98 for the Black, but staples also gives a $2 rebate for any used cartridge you turn in. (Up to 10 empties per month). I just found a website this morning for cheaper ink cartridges for almost all printers. Thru the site I can get color cartidges for this printer for $9.98 www.inkjetSuperstore.com...See MoreFor those w/desks in the kitchen...where do you put your printer?
Comments (4)Mine is in another room, in my Hoosier cabinet. I have a wireless network, and the printer is hooked up to another computer that is on all the time. I rarely actually print, most stuff is printed to Acrobat as a pdf file and saved on my computer. I share the printer and a lot of the folders on both computers so I can go back and forth between them and open, print and manipulate files on either computer.
