I am using Windows 2000 professional. I am trying to install a Kodak ESP 5210 all in ONE printer to it. It says printer driver not installed. How can I install a driver so I can get my new printer to work?Try this, down load and install the driver..http://support.en.kodak.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/17543According to the Kodak site there isn't a driver for Windows 2000 for this printer.As mroilfield has just pointed out it certainly seems that Kodak does NOT offer drivers for the printer for the win 2000 O/S.
However  i do have some alternative suggestions which i shall list below.However as I'm sure you REALIZE finding a modern all in one printer that will be compatible with that OLD O/S will be very difficult. Now if this is the printer you must keep and use with the computer you may have a few options. But my 1st suggestion is to RETURN the printer for a full refund. I do appreciate that leaves you without a printer. You may be able to find an older printer (perhaps not an all in one) that will work with your 2000 O/S. On your behalf i did a search for alternatives. One that may work (it is claimed to do so) is to install a LINUX o/s as a dual boot and use the printer with Linux. Another would be to  upgrade your current o/s to a version of Win XP (if your computer is capable). I found a reference from a senior EXECUTIVE of KODAK that stated that Kodak printers were not currently able to function with LINUX BUT he seemed to be referring to Kodak 9xxx printers only. So if you want to try the LINUX route here is the link to the site that claims it will work.

For what it may be worth my wife is using a Brother MFC-465CN all in one printer with  Windows ME (which is even older than 2000) so that might be an option. I should caution you about that printer it is notorious for print head problems and in fact we have NEVER been able yet to get the magenta  colour to print (and it certainly appears to be the magenta print head). Hope something here will help you to solve your problem. truenorthThanks truenorth. I think I will just take it back for a refund. From everything you have told me this seems to be the best option. Thank you so much for your help. Have a great New Year.You are very welcome and all the best in 2011 to you also,truenorth
