    The problem I am haveing is that when I load the software for my Kodak printer, my sprint mobile broadband quits working.
    The Laptop is a Dell Inspiron 1764, The printer is Kodak ESP5250LE.
    I load the software and updates while connected to the Internet via the Sprint board band. I can print, then the next time I try to connect the Sprint control panel says no device. I do a system restore and the only thing that leaves is the Kodak software and the Mobile Broad band connects. I am about to pull out my hair, well what is left of it, lol

    Sounds like the Kodak software is trying to take over your USB ports to scan for the printer and kicking off the modem. Can you just download the latest software and skip the update?

    Kadak came up with new software that will work with Windows 7.
