Here are the basics to check from Kodak:

Verify that the ink cartridges are intact and securely inserted into the printhead, then make the same print.

1. Lift the printer access door, then remove the ink cartridges from the printhead.
2. Verify that the label on the ink cartridges is intact, and the cartridges are not damaged.
3. Verify that only KODAK branded ink cartridges are installed.
4. Insert the ink cartridges into the printhead, then press down firmly until you hear them click into position.

I'm in the same boat here, I just found out that my new 2008 Mac Pro will not be able to print to my Kodak EasyShare 5500. Unhooking the printer from the Windows machine, so I'll have to print EVERYTHING through a VMWare Fusion (Windows) machine.
It's a shame for Kodak, a nice printer, but without industry standard functionality I really don't see them capturing market share. I will buy elsewhere next time unless they get on the ball, fast!

please check the data cables and choose proper in print menu

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.

Make sure there is nothing covering the jets on the cartridge.check and try to reset the cartridge.......If you need any technical help on printer then you can reach at here

Try removing the cartridge, then re-inserting it. Make sure it clicks into place. If you still get the error, shut down the printer, then turn it back on. If you still get the error after that, unfortunately it may be a bad cartridge.

You may download the user guide here. Additional documentation is available here.

The print head is likely fouled beyond the point of self-cleaning.
