Kodak EASYSHARE 5500 will not print with black ink
Here are the things you will be asked to try if you call support. They may fix the problems as well. Taking the printhead out and putting it back in is the big helper.
Remove the black and color ink cartridges.
Right above where the black ink cartridge was, in the top left hand corner of the printhead, push up towards the ceiling and you should be able to push a button that releases the printhead.
Place the printhead right back into the printer and push straight back on the back wall.
You should hear a loud snap.
Replace the ink cartridges which should snap as well.
Close the printer.
After about a minute or so the printer will ask you to do a calibration.
Insert a paper and press start.
Scan the calibration sheet.
After that, in the menu, do a printhead clean.
(If this is a 5100, do it in the home center ->? in the top right ->Maintainence ->Clean Printhead.)
Do one basic and one deep.
Print a demo sheet to see if anything has changed.
If the picture looks better, continue to do cleans.
In the event that it does not, the printhead will need to be replaced and since the printer is still under warranty, Kodak specialists will try to overnight you a printhead.
The whole process is short and free.
The number for Kodak AiO Support is 1 800 421 6699.

Put new ink cartridges in my kodak all in one
Sometimes one gets a cartridge that has a defective chip and cannot be recognized by the printer. Return the cartridge where you purchased it and get a new one. If the new one is not recognized, you will need to have the printer serviced or replaced. Hope that helps,Bax

5300 kodak printer black ink dont work
Inkjet printers need to be used frequently to prevent ink drying out and blocking 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 than replace the print head.
It says paper jam and its no paper in it
Do not [DO NOT] get any parts wet or attempt to wipe any parts with moistened towels.Turn off the printer and unplug it. Look for any small bits of paper. Vacuum the area out. It is best to use low flow vacuum equipment as the air movement from the vacuum can create static electricity so be sure not to touch metal components. The faster the air flow, the greater the generation of static electricity. If the problem is not solved, look for unpluged wires or broken connectors. If it is still not solved, some other component has failed and a good diagnostic is necessary to locate and repair it.
My printer is printing really poor photos - they
This is not a problem with the ink cartridges but the printhead.
Please follow the below mentioned steps:
- Reseat the ink and the printhead. If you need help in doing so, please go to the link http://faqs.kodak.com/atg/faq/attachments/AUR1780-2.pdf
- After reseating, it would ask you to calibrate for which it will display the instructions on the lcd screen.
- Once you are through with the calibration, try celaning the printhead by choosing the Clean printhead option in the menu and do a Deep clean.
- Then, try printing a Demo sheet by choosing Print demo sheet option from the menu.
If the problem still remains, you need a new printhead which you can get from Kodak free of cost.
