Our take on the Kodak ESP 3250

Print, scan, copy — and save — with Kodak's versatile ESP 3250. This economical multi-function printer sips ink instead of gulping it. And if you've seen Kodak's "printervention" commercials on TV, you know that their highly affordable replacement ink cartridges help you save big on printing costs.

This printer can turn out vivid, lab-quality photos plus crisp text documents and copies in a snap, too. The built-in memory card reader and color LCD viewscreen make it easy to print photos from your digital camera. Just pop your memory card into the printer's card slot and use the viewscreen to select the photos you'd like to print.

New Printer

Written By WBN, Lexington, VA on Friday, June 10, 2011
 
Just began testing my new Kodak 3250. Seems to be working now. I just wanted to point out that the printheard must be installed perfectly or it will not work. Just because it clicks does not mean that it is in there correctly. Also applies to the ink cartridges.
