Good job Pam!

We set up ours too a while ago. DH and I both have laptops that are configured with it. I can print no problem but for some reason when I scan a document, it gets sent to DH's laptop instead of mine. No idea how to fix that one.

I have been wanting a wireless printer for awhile but hesitate to get one because I know I'll have problems. Which one did you get Pam? I have a router for the Internet that's hardwired to my desktop computer and then DH has a laptop that he can get on the net wirelessly from this router. Will there be any problems with a wireless printer and the wireless router?

Good for you! Isn't it a feeling of accomplishment? I just fixed a stuck key on my laptop and you'd have thought I found the answer for world peace.

We have a wireless router connected to the modem, and an old desktop PC was configured the modem. The laptops, tablets and printers all connect thru the wireless router that connects to the modem.

I love this place... people who understand! the answer for world peace, ha!ha!..I bought Kodak ESP Office 2100 series. It was on sale at Staples for $89.00 but we did spend $32.00 on ink as per advice from clerk. The printer comes with ink cartridges, but apparently only a little. It copies and scans and also has a fax (which is beyond my needs and capability). I just copied an old photo from 1951. It was so easy, I couldn't believe it. Does lots more. Maybe someday I will be able to follow Joanne's directions and post a photo!

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.

woo hoo and good for you!!!

for those that have a wireless router if you get a printer that is network capable you can just plug the ethernet cable from the printer into your router and can use it on all the computers or laptos etc that you use on your wireless network.
With a wireless printer you do not have to have any cable connected to the router it uses the wireless router just as your laptops and stuff do.
The thing to consider between the 2 types is if your printer will be fairly close to your router if so then you would be able to run that cable if not then you would definitely want to go totally wireless. There is generally a bit of a price difference in the 2 types.

congrats Pam!!

We have the HP Photosmart Plus and we love it. It is wireless and works on our desktop computer and hubbies laptop. Does a great job printing. Our son bought it for me for my birthday. He found it priced anywhere from $169.00 to $79.00 so be sure and shop around. Also buy the 3X cartridges. Ours lasted almost a year. I though I would save and buy the cheaper ones. They barely lasted 2 months.
We sure would hate to be without our printer..

Great information Lazypup and Raven. Thanks.
