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

Did you install the full software driver for the all-in-one? The drivers are here: http://www.kodak.com/global/mul/service/downloads/DownloadLookup.jhtml?pq-path=9103/12666/12667&product=EKN034524

Next try a new USB cable and plugging the unit into a different port. If you use a print server or USB hub, try connecting directly to the computer. Scanners need bi-directional communication with the computer and thus are likely to have issues even if the printer doesn't.

Can the scanning software on the computer initiate the scan? (That is in the full software package. Alternatively Vista came with Paint and File> Import from Camera or Scanner > New Scan.)

I hope this helps.

open printer access door.remove printhead and cartridges again reseat both of them.. press copy $ cancel for 5 seconds and wait for caliberation sheet to print.. or if u have connected ur desktop, open kodak home center, go 2 maintenance and click on clean printhead. now see if ur documents are printing properly. if not kodak will replace ur printhead.

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.

I persisted in finding a solution with the help of Kodak but the solution was that the scanner was flawed and the printer is being replaced - AGAIN.  The first tech I talked with was clueless and absolutely no help.  The second person went through some steps with me and determined, once again, there is a flaw in the printer -- the 3rd replacement.  The first printer had a print-head problem out of the box, so it was returned to the store & exchanged for another.  The replacement worked for some 3 months without a hitch and then stopped working - just would not print, but the scanner worked.  So I just rec'd my Kodak ESP-3 number 3 on Tuesday this week.  Printer worked, scanner didn't.  Now I am waiting for my 4th replacement.  It is ridiculous, but when it does work, it is a nice little printer -- quality of photo printing is great, and you can't beat the cost of the ink refills. And so it goes.
