Kodak Verite 55 printer

Post by gdeyou »

I am new to Linux Mint 18 Mate which I recently installed on an Amilo Li272 32 bit as a Linix trial and in the hope of moving away from MS OS .Trying set to up my systems etc but unable to get my Kodak Verite 55 printer working. I downloaded from Kodak site their recommended Linux 32 bit version 1.1.7.1 . I have used the Mint trouble shooter and have the troubleshoot txt printout if somebody would be able to help resolve my problem. I am not able to understand this printout myself,( I am a bit lost when it gets technical). Assistance would be much appreciated.

This website doesn't even show your printer model . . :(

http://www.openprinting.org/printers/manufacturer/Kodak

Can you give us the link you used to download ?

I see it is a .deb file (too bad they didn't provide any descriptions or instructions).
What happened when you double-clicked the downloaded deb file to install? Any error messages?

There was no error message, indication was okay. I thought great sorted but then when I tried to print a page a window opened and
said could not start printer check configuration which I did. Printers local host Window opened and lists my printer & says connected to localhost.

I have the exact same printer you have....a Kodak 55 verite eco. My pc is 64 bit, so I had to download the 3 downloads off the Funai help site. My printer still didn't work. Then I REINSTALLED all 3 downloads, and my printer started working. Since you seem to have a 32 bit computer, I'm not sure if this will work for you, but you might want to give it a try. Even though my printer works fine, it does NOT have the ink cartridge dialog box that I got with windows to indicate the ink levels in each cartridge. No big deal, but probably something you should be aware of.
