Since updating to OS X Yosemite last year, I have been having trouble printing to my Kodak Office Hero 6.1. Print message sends perfectly to printer but the page is just printed as a blank. The printer head moves as if it was printing but no ink comes out. I have done the following: 1. Changed printer cartridge. View full Kodak Office Hero 6.1 All-in-One Printer specs on CNET. Holiday Gift Guide 2020. Apple Mac OS X 10.5 or later.
Kodak has posted an unsupported hack that has been reported to enable printing to a Kodak printer not supported in OS X 10.10 ('Yosemite'). Perhaps it would have the same effect with some other kinds of printers that aren't supported in Yosemite. I have no information about that, one way or the other.
I have not tested the hack myself and I don't know all the possible effects. As far as I know it will not break the compatibility of printing software that is already compatible with Yosemite. It may degrade the security of the web administration interface of CUPS. That interface is not enabled by default, and will not be enabled by the procedure described here. Even if it were enabled, I know of no way it could be exploited, with or without the modification. Nevertheless, if you have enabled the web administration interface, you should disable it if you decide to follow these instructions. If you don't know what the web administration interface is, you haven't enabled it.

None of Kodak's printers support AirPrint, to the best of my knowledge. Kodak has, or at least had, a print app in the iTunes Store that worked with at least some of their WiFi printer. Third-party printing apps such as PrintCentral are also available. All such apps have limitations, so check them out thoroughly before you pay for any such app.

You can route the printing through your computer. If you have a Mac, Printopia would be worth a look. Fingerprint is another option that is available for both Mac OS X and Windows system. You could also consider an AirPrint-capable print server. Lantronix makes a couple of models, including one that supports a USB printer:
