Kodak ESP 7 All-In-One Inkjet Printer Offers Multiple Input Options

Printer News: Kodak Claims Its ESP 7 Saves You Money on Ink

DBZ-550-PN500

The rise of digital photography has forced the printer industry to cater to different audiences. For instance, my mother doesn't know much about computers but she loves her digital camera. So when she needs to print her photos, guess who ends up doing it? If only she could print her photos directly from her camera's memory card.

The Kodak ESP 7 All-In-One seems like a good option for Mom. It not only offers PC-less print options like printing from memory cards or via PictBridge, but also saves money on ink by printing more photos per cartridge.

Plus, if and when my mother actually decides to leap into the 21st century, she could print over her WiFi network. Throw in a large LCD screen that she won't have to squint to see along with copying and scanning capabilities and — well, I may have some holiday shopping to do.

    Just a quick comment the "NEW ESP-7". The first one I received worked the first day and broke the second day. Something about the paper jam error message. There was no paper jam. Sent it back when I received the new one. The new one broke as well. Keep getting a Print error code 6202. Now I'm being told (by Kodak) I will have to send this one back. Third times a charm right?
