Kodak Home Center Download and Setup Guide
Discontinued software for Kodak all-in-one printers, with no download remaining
Representative photo — midnightcomm CC BY 2.5
Kodak Home Center was the desktop software for Kodak's ESP and Hero all-in-one inkjet printers, handling printing, scanning, copying and ink ordering. Kodak discontinued its all-in-one printer business in 2012 and states that those printers are unsupported, and the Home Center download has been withdrawn. If you still own an ESP or Hero, there is no official software to install. Basic printing may still work through the built-in Windows or macOS class drivers, but scanning and the ink ordering features are gone for good.
Version and licence: Discontinued. Kodak's own support material states that its all-in-one printers were discontinued in 2012 with no ongoing support, and no official download of Home Center remains. There is nothing to install and nothing legitimate to link, so this entry exists to explain the situation rather than to point at a file.
Download Kodak Home Center
What it does
- Printing, scanning and copying from a Kodak all-in-one
- Ink level display and ordering
- Photo editing and printing tools
- Wireless setup for ESP and Hero models
- All of this is discontinued with no current download
How to install it
Step 1
Understand first that there is no official download; Kodak discontinued these printers in 2012 and withdrew the software.
Step 2
On Windows, try adding the printer through Settings, Bluetooth and devices, Printers and scanners, using Add device and then the manual option.
Step 3
Choose a generic or class driver if Windows offers one for the model, which handles basic printing on some ESP and Hero devices.
Step 4
On macOS, add the printer in Printers and Scanners and see whether AirPrint is offered, which some later Kodak models support.
Step 5
For scanning, try the Windows Scan app or macOS Image Capture, which speak the standard scan protocols and sometimes work.
Step 6
If none of that works, accept that the printer is at end of life and plan a replacement, since ink for these models is also scarce.
Step 7
Do not download Home Center from third-party driver sites, which are a common source of malware.
Which printers it supports
Kodak ESP and Hero all-in-one inkjet printers, all discontinued in 2012.
When Kodak Home Center will not work
There is none. Kodak discontinued these printers in 2012 and withdrew the software, and no official download remains. Avoid third-party driver sites offering it, which are a well-known malware vector.
Try the manual add-printer route with a generic or class driver, and connect by USB. If Windows has no driver for the model, there is no supported path and the printer is effectively at end of life.
Without Home Center there is usually no scan path. Try the Windows Scan app or macOS Image Capture, which sometimes reach these devices over USB, but expect limited success.
Kodak inkjet supplies became scarce after the 2012 discontinuation. Remaining stock is old and dried cartridges are common, so replacing the printer is usually the practical answer.
Third-party driver download sites are unsafe and often bundle unwanted software. Do not use them for this or any other discontinued driver.

Frequently asked questions
Can I still get Kodak Home Center?
Not officially. Kodak withdrew it when it discontinued the all-in-one printers in 2012.
Will my ESP or Hero printer still work?
Possibly for basic printing through a generic Windows or macOS driver, but scanning and the software features are gone.
Are third-party download sites safe?
No. Sites offering discontinued drivers are a common malware vector, and there is no legitimate copy to obtain.
