Have a look at 

http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Kodak-
EasyShare_Printer_Dock_Plus_Series_3

That is for the EasyShare Printer Dock Plus Series 3.  Its given an 
'mostly works' rating.  

The information on the EasyShare Printer Dock Series 3 (I.e not 'Plus') 
is that it does not work ('paperweight rating').  

Go to

http://openprinting.org/printer_list.cgi?make=Kodak

to see all Kodak printers.

There may be drivers on the Kodak website.
