Hey all;
I've just bought myself a new Kodak ESP 3 all in one printer, and
upon opening the printer configuration Dialogue to see if there are
drivers available for it, I find the 'New' button is grayed out. I then
went to Server -> Connect and selected 'localhost' as my print server.
After frying to connect to it, I get the error
There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'httpConnectionEncrypt
failed'.
What can be done to resolve this error, as I need this printer to work
for my ICT course.
Many, many thanks;
Liam Wilson

Have a look at
http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Kodak-
EasyShare_Printer_Dock_Plus_Series_3
That is for the EasyShare Printer Dock Plus Series 3. Its given an
'mostly works' rating.
The information on the EasyShare Printer Dock Series 3 (I.e not 'Plus')
is that it does not work ('paperweight rating').
Go to
http://openprinting.org/printer_list.cgi?make=Kodak
to see all Kodak printers.
There may be drivers on the Kodak website.

Turns out that I needed to start cups before i could install a printer,
but it ALSO turns out that there are NO linux drivers for my driver. At
all, which I'm not at all happy about! :)

You could also look for a PPD file (normally included somewhere in the
Windows driver installation archive). This provides CUPS enough
information to get the printer working.
Cheers for the Idea, but Unfortunately, I couldn't seem to find a PPD
file that worked with my Printer, so it looks like I'm going back to my
old one!
Cheers for the help anyway guys :)
A strongly-worded letter shall be sent to Kodak right away!
