This model printer may only let you use genuine printer cartridges. If you try to refill these ink cartridges it will not work because the cartridges have an embedded chip in the cartridge that detects the empty cartridge even though it has been refilled.
SOURCE: not recognizing new ink cartridge
We had the same problem and tried all steps Customer Service suggested each time; after several calls, it was determined we had a defective printhead... Kodak sent a new printhead, new ink cartridges w/ an envelope to return the ones I was using.
Apparently it's a common problem with this model; especially the earlier ones. Have had NO problems since the printhead was replaced.
I would suggest if you have recurring problems (even after Customer Service directives), call and ask if you might have a defective printhead.
SOURCE: need refill instructions for refilling the
From what I know, these cartridges have a chip that renders them useless if ran completely empty, (or if the printer registers them completely empty), and they will not work if refilled.
I think the only way to actually pull this off is to try to refill while the cart. is still printing,(not completly empty), and then it should work. This is a difficult one to refill.

SOURCE: Dead printer after replacing Cartridges in Kodak ESP3 AiO Printer
You should never use a COMPATIBLE ink cartridge or a ink cartrdge from different manufacturer......if you do then you are damaging your printer yourself and no one can help you not even kodak tech support.........try using genuine ink cartridge if you look on side of the ink cartridge then you will see a code which will indicate if its genuine or not try and match those codes with the codes that i will mention if it does not match then its not genuine...........
let me know if this was helpful.......
