I;m trying to install my ESP 3250 printer/scanner. It keeps telling me windows is unable to locate software for that device. Search again-go back. I've tried this several times and get the same message.

Re-install the software but do not connect the USB cable immediately. Begin the installation and let the software tell you when to re-connect the Usb Cable to the computer. Let it finish

Reboot computer and Windows will find it.

Or, go in control panel and click on Scanners and Cameras. You should see the Kodak icon there. Click it and scan from there. If the scanner was well installed, it should work from there as well.In Case You Still face Problem and Need Online Assistance Then Please Follow Us For On : Kodak Printer Support

From the Kodak website:
For error codes 101-3011 or greater, follow the instructions provided in the message text box. If the error persists:

1. Uninstall any All-in-One Printer Software installed on your computer:
   Select Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs > KODAK AiO Home Center Software.
2. Select Change/Remove.
3. Restart your computer, then log in as administrator.
4. Close any programs that are open, including those that appear on your computer taskbar.
5. Confirm that your computer is connected to the Internet.
   NOTE: If your connection to the Internet is wireless, verify that the signal strength is sufficient.
6. Install the latest version of all-in-one printer software.
   1. Locate and select the software for your operating system.
   2. Follow the instructions to install the software.
      NOTE: If you don't have access to the Internet, install all-in-one printer software from the CD that was supplied with your printer.

Although your error message is different, the above is basically a good piece of advice. Do a clean reboot, and uninstall anything to do with the Kodak printer.

The driver you need can be downloaded here: KODAK DRIVER

software has not passed Window Logo testing is a known microsoft windows xp issue .disregard the message and click on continue anyway until you get to finish the installation.if it keeps on popping up,keep on selecting continue anyway.

Reboot your computer as well as your scanner, also check your data cable if properly connected as well as the power cord of your scanner, else try to uninstall your printer/scanner and reinstall it again. Reboot again and try connecting again. Usually, it is not possible to use your scanner simultaneously while printing.

Try initiating the scan from the computer, once you plug in the USB cable into your computer, go to My Computer, right click the sanner (should be called something along the lines of KODAK ESP.....) and press scan, then click which program you'll use to scan it, I usually do the Microsoft one, Good luck!!

Try a new USB cable. Scanners require bidirectional communication with the computer and thus can fail when printer itself works. (If you use a print server or USB hub, try a direct connection.) Also try changing USB ports.

Another thing to try is to remove the TWAIN driver and reinstall it. This requires the original software CD from Kodak.
1. From your computer desktop, click Start > Run. (In Windows 7, type run in the search box then click on Run.)
2. Type %windir%, then click OK.
3. Double-click twain_32.
4. Right-click Kodak, then select Delete.
5. Insert the KODAK All-in-One Printer Software CD into the appropriate drive, then go to D: > printer > scanner.
NOTE: The CD is indicated by D: above. The CD drive may be a different letter on your computer.
6. Double-click aioscannr.msi, then follow the instructions to remove it.
7. Go to D: > printer > scanner, then double-click aioscannr.msi, and follow the instructions to install the file.
8. Open Home Center Software:
a. Select Scan Documents and Pictures.
b. Scan a document.

Unfortunately, if the error persists, the scanner may need service. Contact Kodak: http://www.kodak.com/go/contact .

I hope this helps.

The minimum space on the hard drive should be 512 mb to install the software.
