#1 mistake made when replacing cartridges. Shake them up well before installing them.I've ran into the same issue with several of my customers. 95% of the time they are using off-brand inkjet cartridges that are cheaply sold - and even when they do work, the circuitry typically fails within a few months.On trick for ink cartridges is to heat up a cup of water in the microwave - not boiling, but about as hot as you can stand to sip a cup of tea or coffee.Next, twist the end of a paper towel and stick it into the water then DAB, do not rub, DAB the cartridge where the ink flows out - without wetting the little circuit board.
Do this a couple of times. You should start seeing the ink flow onto the paper towel. Once you do, use a dry part of the paper towel and blot it dry, do not scrub.I've worked with 7 feet+ inkjets in graphics design shops in the past, each morning I used this technique to prime heads esp during weather changes.Once you do this consult your manual for replacing ink cartridges - re-install the (in this case black) cartridge and turn a test print (bonus: set your printer to b&w only so not to burn up your color ink - drop a small photo into a word processing document.)If the above doesn't work then the little electronic board/head is defective - grab a new cartridge.
Update my response to you all, screw inkjet printers because they're too much of a dang headache!!!!!buy a laser printer, and you will be extremely happy you did! I have an ESP 9,and my printer stopped printing black ink.
I did a copy function and still no ink so I knew it was the printer and not the driver. I changed both colour and black to no avail and tried cleaning the print head with a damp cloth, also to no avail. Figuring I had nothing to lose I ran the hot tap in the kitchen and allowed the hot water to flow into the print head rinsing out each of the colours and the two blacks. You could literally see the ink residue flowing through into the sink.
After a couple of minutes I gave the print head a shake, gentle wipe with paper towel and re-assembled the print head and cartridges. Colour is a bit squiffy but black is now perfect. I have that many documents to print today and tomorrow that I would have had to buy another printer.
Interesting to note, our printer is located next to the fireplace and we have had the fire on more than normal. When I get the chance I will relocate the printer to a cooler more ventilated place. I ended up spending too many hours messing around with the printer in the following days. I have just spent £229.99 on an Epson ET-2550 which included 4 pots of ink that will print up to 7,000 pages and potentially will last 2 years. There is a black, red, yellow and blue tank to fill, they are clearly visible from the side of the printer.
When they run out it will cost me £9.99 for each pot of ink. The printer will pay for itself in the first year, it is so fast compared to the Kodak, no clunking around after it's been resting. I will be taking the Kodak to the local waste tip on Monday.by. Everyone complaining about the same issue; No solutions! You get, 'It's the print tray' or,' It's a Windows driver' (without actually specifying which of the umpteen drivers it is, durrrr), and countless other random posts without any real solution. Does anyone actually know what the issue is because I could sure use an explanation. No, it isn't the print tray, it isn't the fact that some of us use 'Non Kodak' ink and it isn't something that just decides to happen at will.
Kodak Printer Troubleshooting
Kodak DO know what the issue is and it's more than likely a simple fix, but when you are skint it makes sense to encourage people to buy more of your products and services. Really Kodak, what would Paul McCartneys beloved late Missus think of your behaviour? I've had the same issue - for a couple of years now!! I can print perfect hi-res photos with full colour range including blacks, but if I print a document, the black ink is awful - it is grainy & misses every other line!What I have to do now is to screenshot my document, import it into Adobe Lightroom, adjust the tones etc & then export as jpeg. When I then print it, the black is rich & almost perfect.So it seems that 'quick print' fails & photo print works.
The fix I will apply tomorrow if I haven't sorted it in 24hrs time is to simply throw it out of the window & buy another brand.(KODAK customer support is the worst, not even gonna try that avenue again!). Hi there,After reading all the reviews I tried the following steps.1) reinstalling software after removing Microsoft installed software.2) cleaning printer cartridge heads3) Wiping the print heads.Finally I got annoyed and took the print head to the sink and ran a tap slowly through the black sponge to clear any debris (this just popped out of the printer like the ink cartride did. I made sure not to get the gold plate wet and then dabbed it dry once the water ran clear.Popped it back in the printer and ran the calibration and sure enough it prints fine. Must have just been some back ink clogging somewhere due to not using it for 6 months. OK read through all these comments and more on other pages.
First off I have had my Kodak All in one printer 3200 series for almost 10 years now and I love it!!!! The picture quality is great and I have printed millions of pictures now for less than a $00.01 a pic. The trick is use Kodak photo paper and Kodak Ink and then if people would take the time to adjust their settings to the Kodak recommendations each time they are printing they would get the most out of their Ink.
But that would require people to slow down and take a minuet and Lord knows no one has time for that. Also before you purchase any items for your printing needs take a minuet to look online to see if there are any specials on the items you need. I have found numerous times I can purchase everything I need and pick it up in the store on the same day at a minimum of a 15% discount than just walking into the store and buying it.Unfortunately the ribbon has come out of the printer head cartridge on my printer now and I am trying desperately to find a quick fix for it but so far no luck. But I will find a cheap way to fix it one way or another because I love my printer! Non WiFi and All!
LOL!I know my post is not a helpful one at first glance, but if you slow down long enough to read it you might get a few helpful hints and not just with printer issues.God Bless! When both color and black/white cartridges were empty I purchased only a black cartridge for my C315 thinking I could put only the black cartridge in and change my printer settings when printing and I could print. With only the black toner in I get an error code 3511 saying cartridge is missing or not installed properly. If I put the empty color cartridge back in I get error that the cartridge is empty. Why can't I just have a black/white cartridge in the printer and print black/white prints? Any solution to this without having to buy a color cartridge?by.
Kodak Printer Esp C310 Troubleshooting
Just where the ink holder sits move it to the side manually and you should see a sponge holder thing i think it is for cleaning the ink, beside it is a gear usually abit dirty with ink, this is the gear that has come out of sync. So get a screw driver and try to move it, then press ok try this again and again, also move the ink spongie thing up or down too and keep fiddling with these to parts until it starts to work again. If and when working go to maintenance and go through and select all the options. There was a guy who had a video on YouTube, with about a half hour of instruction on how to take the machine apart to get to the area that you mentioned, but after I gave up on him (didn't have that much time or ambition), I found your answer here, and I grabbed a screwdriver. After lighting up the area with my cell phone, I found a gear that looked like it hadn't been moving, and I forced it to move, then moved another gear, just to be safe, closed up the machine - and it was cleared of all error messages. I am SO excited!
Thank you so much!
