Or, how about an ethernet cable? It's a lot simpler and more reliable.
No SSID, WPA, WPS, etc... to get right.

Bingo. +1

I started with a cable and never set-up WiFi for printing.

my GF has a laptop so the wi fi is really useful


It often is, and I have no objection to WiFi where you need it. I'm just
against it for a fixed installation, like a desktop or printer that's
seldom if ever moved.

BTW, I have a Epson printer (all-in-one inkjet). It has WiFi which has
never been used.

The main purpose in using wifi for a printer would be if it's located
where it would be difficult to connect to the router via Ethernet. Mine
is connected with Ethernet, much more reliable in my experience.


And if he wants to connect it via Ethernet, I'd download the install
software that should be on Kodak's website. Then go into control panel,
delete the existing printer, then run the install software.
