The 6800 and the 6850 share one driver. Install the V20 color profile of your printer and associate it with the driver. You can compare every file with Kodak’s own Kodak 6850 support page.
Install the driver step by step
First, download the driver and run the .exe file. Then the files are extracted to the C:\Kodak folder, and the folder opens by itself. Next, double-click Install_Drv.exe and follow the on-screen instructions. Finally, install the color profile of your printer, which extracts to C:\Kodak_Alaris.
Check the printer firmware
Turn the printer on and wait for Ready. After that, press Menu until Main Firm = appears. On the 6850, 678 or 878 means the firmware is current; on the 6800, 259, 359 or 459 does. Otherwise, run the firmware file from the table, and do not unplug the USB cable during the update.
Check your Windows version first
Before you download, check which Windows version you run. For example, open Settings, then System, then About, and read the System type line. It tells you whether the PC runs a 64-bit or a 32-bit system. Besides, the edition and the version number appear on the same page. Therefore, you can match them with the Supports line of each file in the table. However, if a file lists only 64-bit systems, a 32-bit PC cannot use it. In that case, choose another file or an older driver version. Finally, restart the PC after the installation, because the new driver loads more reliably after a restart.
For installer errors on Windows, see the driver installation guide for Windows 11 and the driver installation error guide.
