Kodak ESP C310: Setup, Drivers, Ink and Common Problems

Is the Kodak ESP C310 right for you?

The ESP C310 was Kodak's entry wireless all-in-one for 2011, selling for under $100 with the newer Kodak 30 cartridges that were cheaper than the 10 series. It lacks a screen, so Wi-Fi setup relied on the PC software, which is now awkward to find. Third-party Kodak 30 ink is still widely sold, which keeps these printers going in many homes.

Best for: Budget owners keeping a simple Kodak wireless all-in-one alive

Setting up the Kodak ESP C310

Install the archived Kodak AiO software on a Windows 7 to 10 PC, connect by USB and run the wireless setup wizard to push your network details, since the printer has no screen. Afterwards it can be added on other PCs by IP. If the wizard is unavailable, WPS push-button pairing with your router also works on this model.

1. Unbox and prepare. Remove every piece of shipping tape and packing material, install the ink cartridges, and load paper in the tray.
2. Join your Wi-Fi. Keep the printer close to the router for setup. Most printers only connect to the 2.4GHz band, so if your router broadcasts one merged network name you may need to split the bands temporarily. See our Wi-Fi guide if it will not join.
3. Install the setup app. Use Kodak's official app rather than a driver you found on a search result — third-party driver sites are the most common source of printer malware.
4. Add the printer. On Windows 11: Settings › Bluetooth & devices › Printers & scanners › Add device. On macOS: System Settings › Printers & Scanners › Add Printer.
5. Print a test page and run a scan if this is an all-in-one, so you find any problem now rather than when you are in a hurry.

Ink, toner and supplies

The Kodak ESP C310 uses the following consumables. Match the number exactly when you buy: the same printer family often uses several different cartridge numbers by region.

• Kodak 30B black cartridge
• Kodak 30C colour cartridge
• Kodak 30XL black

High-yield (XL) versions almost always cost less per page if you print regularly. On third-party ink and toner, read our honest assessment first, and note that some manufacturers push firmware that rejects non-original chips.
