    Do you have a USB port on your router so that you could share the printer on you network?

    Those apps will only interact with Airprint and cloud-enabled Kodak printers, or Kodak-brand Kiosks installed commercially (pharmacies etc)

    You're basically SOL on this one, you'll have to use your PC and email as an intermediary. To date I haven't heard of any printer MFR creating a desktop utility for this, and they have little reason to now. And by desktop utility I mean a program that turns your PC into an ad hoc airprint receiver for the older printer. Since all the newer printers are Airprint with few exceptions anyway, they have no reason to create such things.

    Pro Tip though is with the average cost of ink, you can basically consider the printer a disposable commodity as after so many years/refills your spending on ink has far outstripped the cost of the hardware. One of the entry-level-but-not-retarded HP Printers averages around $80-90 and the set of fills retails for $45 (eg. 564 set). Unless you have compelling reasons to hang on to the old printer (Color Laser, Wide-format or other uncommon perk) you might as well purchase another low-cost airprint enabled unit for your mobile devices.
