How to Set Up a Manual IP Address Connection for Your Kodak ESP 7 Printer Software

Are you having trouble connecting your Kodak ESP 7 printer to your wireless network using an ACTIONTEC (Qwest) M1000, PK5000, GT724WG, GT701WG ADSL, or MI424WR router? If so, this article will guide you through the process of setting up a manual IP address connection to enable printing and possibly scanning.

To begin, press OK on your printer's control panel and select Manual (Static). Then, scroll down and select Advanced IP Address Setup. Record the IP Address: #.#.#.# that appears on the screen.

Next, select View Network Configuration and then press OK. Scroll down and select Network Settings, followed by OK.

Note that if scanning is not possible, you may need to connect your printer to your computer using a USB cable to enable scanning. This is because some ACTIONTEC routers may not support the multicast protocol required for detecting printers on a wireless network.

If you are unable to detect your printer with the ACTIONTEC router, there are a few workarounds you can try:

* Contact your router supplier for the latest information regarding multicast support and ensure that you update the firmware to the latest version available.

* Kodak is working with Actiontec to make these routers compatible with wireless-enabled printers.

It's worth noting that ACTIONTEC Routers may not support the multicast protocol, which is required by your network to detect your printer. This can cause issues when trying to connect your printer wirelessly.

By following these steps and troubleshooting tips, you should be able to set up a manual IP address connection for your Kodak ESP 7 printer software and get printing (and possibly scanning) again.
