The Kodak EasyShare line of printers is designed to be user friendly and is intended for novice computer users. The printers feature direct camera-to-printer connections, easy-to-use software, and simple paper loading. If you are having issues with your Kodak EasyShare printer, here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the problem.

Update EasyShare Software

If your printer is new or it has been awhile since you have used it, your software may be out of date. This can cause your printer to respond slowly (or not at all) and may interfere with online functionality. To update your Kodak EasyShare software, go to the link in the Resource section and click on the "Download" link to automatically install the latest software.
Printer Interior Is Dirty

Although its easy to think that all electronics are clean and streamlined, for most printers this simply isn't the case. After frequent use, ink smears and splatters will line your printhead. This can cause your printed documents to appear blotchy, uneven or streaky. Luckily, cleaning your print head is a snap. Simply open the EasyShare program and select "Print Head Cleaning" to run the manual print head cleaning operation. For a deeper clean, you can open the top of the printer and clean the bottoms of the ink cartridges (as well as the print bar) with some moist cotton swabs.
Printer Needs to Be Recalibrated

When a printer is calibrated, the print head has been set to work with a specific type of paper and is in the optimum position for printing documents with crisp, clear lines. However, after frequent use, the calibration may fade, and you'll notice your document printing close to one side, or text and images going off the page. To fix this, you will have to recalibrate the printer by removing the printhead and ink cartridges. Replace the printhead by pressing it firmly back into place until you hear a snap. When the printer initializes, press the "Menu" button, and then choose "Calibrate Printer." Your printer should reposition the print head, and a test page will print out. If everything looks straight, your printer has been recalibrated successfully. If not, you may want to contact Kodak Support via its website. See the Resource section for a link.

I hope you find it very helpful. Best regards.

When you removed the jammed paper, did the paper come out inone piece, if not did all the pieces that were removed make up the entire sheetof paper?
Otherwise there may be still a small piece/s of paper still in the printer,which is causing this error message.

here is link to user manual see page 59 and 60.

Inkjet printers need to be used frequently to prevent inkdrying out in the print head nozzles.
If the print head cleaning maintenance routine does not clear the blockages,then print head needs replacing, but it may be expensive.
It may be more cost effective to buy a later model and better printer thanreplace the print head.

Good day SIr/Maam, the path blocking the ink will not reach the paper, usually the ink travels from the ink cartride to the carrier or cradle, then to the paper. since you mention that the cartride has ink, check also the carrier of the ink, it may have dried ink on it. you need to remove the carrier and clean the dried ink. If you cant remove the carrier, bring it to your dealer, they have inhouse techs there to help you out.

disconnect your wifi connection on your labtop then reconnect it fix the problem for me good luck

I would see if you could clean the light- however if the led for your printer's lightsource is showing up purple when it is supposed to be white... you may need to see about an RMA if in warranty or a new printer. I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/susan_42b401e0b1603d8a

Hi,

Check that the print-head is properly installed if there are missing colors on the calibration sheet. Open the printer access door and take out the black and color ink cartridges. Push the print-head release button. Fully remove the print-head. Reinsert the ink cartridges and print-head and close the printer access door. If this does not resolve the problem, contact Kodak Service and Support.

You have already tried all possible troubleshooting steps to fix the issue which did not work. This definitely seems to be issue with the Black Printhead and you need to replace it to make the printer work.

Contact Kodak and check if they can replace the printhead for you for free.
