unable to connect printer

I cannot connect my Kodak ESP3250 printer to my computer. I have downloaded the latest drivers for windows 7 and everything appears to have been connected but nothing will print from my computer.

The printer works on its own as a copier and will print pictures from my memory card. It will also scan pictures direct to my computer.

When I try to print something it shows on the bottom of the screen that the pages are being printed but nothing appears on the actual printer.

This printer is listed as my default printer. Kodak do not appear to be able to give me any other advice.

Can anyone help me please? :doh:

    Not really an exeprt in this area but am assuming this is a USB printer?

    If so when you have your printer on, right click Computer on your start menu and select manage.

    This will bring up the Computer Management console - go to device manager and expand the Universal Serial Bus Controllers section.

    Does your printer show there ok with no indication of a driver error? If it shows a problem your driver hasn't installed properly.
  • Thanks John the boy. I did as instructed and in the general tab it says this device is working properly (although it did not state a specific printer)
