KODAK Print Service Connection Options
Compatible Browsers and Online Services

The Internet currently consists of a rapidly developing mix of online services and Internet Service Providers using browser software that runs on a variety of operating systems including Windows 95, Windows 3.1, Macintosh OS, and Unix.

At the present, KODAK Print Service is available only through Microsoft Picture It! software, it is therefore limited to use by Windows 95 users. In addition, the underlying communications software (called "Winsock") is "32-bit" software, meaning that it is designed to work only in a 32-bit operating system (such as Windows 95). As a result, any Internet Service Provider (ISP) or online service whose software still uses a 16-bit Winsock for communications (which many do to make it operate in both Windows 3.1 and Windows 95) will not support communications with KODAK Print Service. The following is a list of services we have evaluated and whether or not they are compatible with KODAK Print Service.

Please check this list from time to time to see if anything has changed. This software is evolving very rapidly, and we expect that many services (such as America Online) which are not currently compatible will become compatible in new releases of software which are imminent.
