Cannot install Kodak AiO ESP 5 printer in Windows 7

Mabee the hard drive has failed . try entering bios and see if the hard drive is recognised .If not try turning the computer off unplug it then reconnect the drive data cable and power cable
then re- start the computer and see if it is recognised. some models of older hard drives needed a driver installed during set up -- you usually have to put the driver on a floppy disc and hit the f6 button when prompted by windows set up to install third party drivers . I hope this helps

then the answer would be yes. If you haven't install the software and see how things go.

You can get the latest software for your machine, direct from Kodak here.

Just enter your model and search.

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.

This is easily accomplished using Kodak AIO Home Center v5.3:

Scanning documents from Home Center
1 On the main screen, click Scan Documents and Pictures.
2 Place your original document face down on the scanner glass.
3 Select Document.
4 Select the type of document you are scanning.
5 Select a Resolution for your scan from the drop-down list.
6 Select Perfect Page Technology to automatically correct imperfections in the scan.
7 Select Next.
8 On the Edit screen, edit each image as needed.
9 Click Next.
10 Select Save to File, then select Save As (pdf or rtf), Then Save.
11 Select Done to return to the main menu.
