Most times kodak software is a pain in the neck to use.
I don't know if you still really want to use home center but it seams like the printer is installed so just use your windows picture viewer to print its a lot easier. (if you have mac computer it has a picture viewer you can use also.)
-but if you really want to.
1) uninstall the printer and install the driver your self.
2) restart your computer.
leaving the printer on and connected.
3) go to your control panel  -windows it is on the start menu. (older windows is is under start and settings) -mac its under system preferences.
4) go to printers an make sure it is installed. (if the printer is there it is installed)
5) then make sure the printer is "on line" and "ready"
6) open home center.
7) try to scan or print a picture.
8) if it asks for the printer and there is no printers on the list scan for the printer.
9) don't install the printer a second time. 
10) uninstall the printer
11) redo step 2
12) open home center click connect kodak printer. 
13) click usb, wifi, or ethernet. and install it that way.

14) if it still is being persistent, turn off the computer and printer. wait a minute and turn on the printer. then the computer.(sometimes windows needs to reboot to register that there is a printer connected to it.)

No you can't print. You need printer icon to operate.
You can try follow steps.
go to device manager ,   expand Universal Serial Bus (USB),  right click on USB Composite Device, Uninstall it. Reboot your computer. You will get a printer icon, 
and you can start printing without AIO Home center.

KODAK AiO Home Center has encountered a problem

you need to uninstall the software and reinstall it, if you have not tried that. For XP Start-->control panel-->add/remove programme-->look for Kodak Printer software and uninstall it. For Vista Start-->control panel-->programmes and features and uninstall the software. Run the Kodak clear utility from http://unexpectedtwist4u.com/matthew and click on clear utility and you can either run it or save it first and then run it. Make sure to unplug the USB cable after uninstalling the software and reinstall the software from www.kodak.com/go/esp3downloads. Kodak phone support is open from 9 am to 12 midnight EST. Hope that works:)
