(SOLVED) Need help getting printer to work!

Update: Nevermind! I figured it out!

Hi I have a Kodak Verite 55 XL Plus all in one printer and it's Linux compatible. It worked just fine when I had Linux Mint installed. I downloaded the drivers from the Kodak website and installed them. The Kodak printer utility shows up in my menu but when I open it, it just shows the printers connected. There's no shortcuts for scanning or printing and there's no option to make shortcuts. When I had Linux Mint I could click on the app in menu and create shortcuts. Anyone got any idea as to whats going on? Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

You might want to post how you solved the issue for others in a similar position.

Well I just uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers I got from the Kodak website and I got the printer to work but the only way I could get the scanner to work was to install Simple Scan for Q4OS. I still don't have shortcuts for the Kodak software. Nor do I see any options to make any. But everything is working fine now. The main thing I would suggest is finding a printer that supports Linux.

I tend to stick with HP as its Linux support is excellent.
