Www kodak com go aiosupport
Several things could cause a printhead jam. Check to make sure the bar is clean and that no pieces of any stick on labels are stuck to the wrong places, next, make sure your cartriges are properly seated, if all else fails, you can see if the print head can move at all or if it seems to be sticking to the steel bar that holds the print head. if the print head is sticking to the bar, DO NOT OIL THE BAR. you can place a drop of lighter fluid on each side of the print head to lube the bar. There is a bronze bushing in the print head and it will absorbe oil and lighter fluid is a very fine cleaner lub. But do remember that it is also very flammable.
Message says "printhead carriage jam". No indication there is anything wrong.
The print head its self can jam, could be caused by a piece of a label or a cartrige not properly seated, chek those things, if not that, try to shut down the printer and restart. most printers on boot up do a head cleaning. If all else fails, see if you can gently dislodge the print head. A final not for all printers, never ever use oil on the carriage bar, if the head is moving slowly or draging, shut down the printer and put a drop of lighter fluid on each side of the print head and restart the printer, do becareful to only use a drop.
Why am I missing colors on prints
Could be the print job you send to the printer is set up to print in black and white.
Or the cartridges are full and the nozzles from the printhead are blocked.
Run a cleaning cycle on the printer. If some colour appears continue till all colours are back for all nozzles.
If you did not use he printer for a long time, remove the cartridges one by one and put a drop of cleaning fluid in the pipes in the cartridge holder (where the ink goes in) tun replace the cartridge and print one or two full sized colour photos, till all colours are back.
