Are Drivers Available for Ubuntu Kodak 7.1 Hero Printer?

  • 772

This looks like a nice printer I came across at a local store. Its the "Kodak 7.1 Hero". I cannot seem to find if this will work on Ubuntu and if drivers are easily obtainable? The official site only says "windows & mac", but I have seen a YouTube video showing the google cloud printing feature working in Ubuntu. The video was in German so I couldnt make sense of it. Ive also check the open printers website and no info there.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

    SourceForge has an interesting project which could be just your saviour...

    cups filters and ppd files, and sane backend, for the kodak ESP and Hero all in one printers on linux. Likely to work on all ESP and Hero printers

    There is a report here for the v9.1 version of your printer.

    The dev's are asking for testers and to report issues - so hopefully they can help if you run into issues.

    to install

    Download the deb package and install via the syntax

    sudo dpkg -i [deb-package-name].deb
