KODAK Cloud Software Connector

What is KODAK Cloud Software Connector?

With this software, you can set up your classic (non-cloud ready) printer to enable cloud printing, which allows you to print from anywhere with your smartphone, tablet, or computer.

Overview

The most used version is 1.0.9.0, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. Upon installation, it defines an auto-start registry entry which allows the program run on each boot for the user which installed it. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The software is designed to connect to the Internet and adds a Windows Firewall exception in order to do so without being interfered with. The software installer includes 115 files and is usually about 10.93 MB (11,461,920 bytes).
