Kodak 5300 printer found but not printing. (project abandoned)

Dafydd · 07-20-2010, 12:42 PM

This probably way TOO much information. Sorry for the long post.

I bought a Kodak 5300 printer/scanner a year and a half or so ago and then found that it would not work under ubuntu 9.04. So I packed it away. Now I find reports on several websites that it can be made to function properly with ubuntu 10-4 Lucid Lynx.

I downloaded and installed the recommended driver - c2esp. http://sourceforge.net/projects/cups..._08-1_i386.deb

I find references to the printer all over the place, but when I try to print something nothing happens. I tried the print routine in 'gimp', 'gedit', 'thunderbird, and 'firefox'.
The printer as a stand alone will copy and scan. About a year and a half ago it was connected to a Windows machine and worked.

Anyone any ideas why it does not work?
If you are here, THANKS for taking the time to read all this.

You are right---too much information!!

I don't see where you say that you actually "installed" the printer---i.e. create a print queue. Ubuntu has a utility for this, but I always use the CUPS browser interface (localhost:631).

Once you have installed the printer, can you print a test page (from the CUPS interface)? Can you print a test page using the button on the printer?

Another good resource:

Thanks for taking the time for the feed back.
I think I'm going to abandoned this project. There has to be something wrong with the printer.

It will copy and print in both black and color.

The unit has a place for UBS drives. Placed a drive full of PNG images and it told me 'no readable images on device'.
The unit has a place for sans drives. Placed a sans drive full of PNG images and it told me 'no readable images on device'.

I started playing with computers in the early 80's. I'm now 74 and this is the first time I've tried to have a color printer. I guess I can live the rest of my life without one.

Again, thanks. This web site is always helpful, keep up the good work.

I've found the working solution for the print side, and it's here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/cups.../topic/3731749

It was designed for the ESP series, but it also works on the 5000 series. This is for printing only. Still looking for a solution to the scanning.

Jr48joh · 09-01-2010, 09:25 AM

The Kodak 5300 Printer Driver on Source Forge was the solution to my problem. I have a ESP 3500 All In One Printer. This driver works fine on the 3500, print only no scan. I also run this printer on Ubuntun 10.xx and I have to say, the lack of even recognition from Kodak is sad. Being new to opensource software I am very happy to see that help is available from just about everyone, except Kodak. Now I just need to get some ink.
