“Well guess what, my voyager router 2110 had a little feature enabled call Wireless user isolation switched on. This meant that one Wifi device could not see the other, ie, the mac wireless could no see the printer wireless but the pc which was hard wired could.”

“The 3rd thing was to enable LPR printing, from control panel, programs and features, turn on/off windows features, under printing, I turned on LPR, printing.”

Manually assign it an IP address in the same range you are using

hold down windows key & press r

brings up the run box – put in “cmd” press enter (without quotes)

brings up a dos box – put in “ipconfig” press enter (without quotes)

you can see my lan ip is 192.168.0.5

so set printer to say…. 192.168.0.10 , sn 255.255.255.0, gateway 192.168.0.1

good luck!

u mean that bit? i didnt know what they are, i googled,

apparantly “those are the IP4>IP6 translation adapters for the IPv6 protocol in Vista. They will cause no harm and you can ignore them.”

,,,i wouldn’t worry about it, as long as your wireless is connected tess.

let me know the following info and i’ll have another search:

1)what printer(make/model)
2)what router(make/model)
3)what Operating system(i’m assuming Vista)
4)what happens when you press print, what error message u get?
5)you said your printer is connected to network and that you can see it from laptop. how do you see it? from looking at what screen?

A silly question perhaps, but have you read through the “ESP 7 All-in-One Printer Support Center” on the kodak site?

theres a bit of crap on there that may help you. heres a few bits..

Firewall Security Software Applications
For your wireless printer to function properly, your firewall security program must allow the following computer services:
– mDNSResponder.exe
– Kodaksvc.exe
– EKDiscovery.exe
– AiOHomeCenter.exe
(i know you said youve disabled firewall, but anyway)

i would add those exception rules to your vista firewall if there not there allready.. i am pretty new to vista, like 3 weeks,,, every time i check, the firewall is enabled, i keep turning the goddam thing off, alas it seems to like turning back on again, i dunno wtf lol. thats another google 😉

other than that i’m getting stumpted,

you had a real good look about in your router settings?

Did you get this working yet?
