My wife needed a new printer. I went in to PC World intending to get an
HP Deskjet 2510 all-in-one printer. The Nottingham branch of PC World
doesn't stock it, and showed me instead an Advent Touch Print printer as
this was the same low price - £30.
I'm really pleased with everything except the lack of help with Linux.
PC World completely stonewall questions about Linux, and the Kodak
website is less than helpful. After a lot of research on the internet,
I have got the printer up and running OK and as I say, I am pleased with it.
If anyone wants to try, I had to do the following:
Add as USB printer - use Kodak ESP C310 driver.
Add as network printer - look up network address on printer menu -
probably 192.168.2.11 - use Kodak ESP C310 driver.
Setting up to use scanner. Scanner does not seem to be recognised as a
USB device. Edit /etc/sane.d/kodakaio.conf as follows:
comment out the line net autodiscovery as it doesn't find the scanner.
Add the line net 192.168.2.11 0x4041 and the scanner will be located.
It also works as a cloud printer and it prints from my netbook, laptop
and phone so really versatile. Nice quality. But I wish folk were just
a bit more helpful when I want to use Linux.
Regards, Barry.
