Hi,

The following may work: remove all the ink supplies. Remove the printhead and soak it for about 5 minutes in 0.5" of very hot water. Gently blot the printhead on a soft damp paper towel to remove the excess water, then replace in the printer and then reinstall the ink supplies.

the cartridges come with tape over the print heads to keep them from leaking during shipping.

Remove the tape and put the cartridges back in.

Yes of course you can. Just install your printer driver in your dell laptop...

An ink cartridge may be incorrectly installed. Follow thesesteps to make sure the cartridges are correctly installed:

1. Make sure the Epson Stylus NX400 is turned on.
2. Do one of the following:
• If your printer indicates that an ink cartridge is expended, press OK.
• If your printer does not indicate that any ink cartridge is expended, press SETUP, select MAINTENANCE, and press OK. Then select CHANGE INK CARTRIDGE and press OK.
3. Open the scanner.
4. Open the cartridge cover.
5. Press down all the ink cartridges until they click into place.
   Note: If a cartridge is properly seated already, you may not hear a click.
   Caution: If you remove a low or expended ink cartridge, you cannot reinstall and use the cartridge.
6. Close the cartridge cover and push it down until it clicks into place.
7. Close the scanner.
8. Press OK to begin charging the ink. This takes about 2 minutes.
   You'll see a message on the LCD screen when ink charging is finished.
   Caution: Never turn off the Epson Stylus while ink is charging or you'll waste ink.
   If you remove an ink cartridge for later use, protect the ink supply area from dirt and dust and store it in the same environment as the Epson Stylus with the label facing upward. Note that there is a valve in the ink supply port, making covers or plugs unnecessary, but care is needed to prevent the ink from staining items that the cartridge touches. Do not touch the ink cartridge ink supply port or surrounding area, and do not store the cartridge upside down.

Inkjet printers will print on black paper BUT you cannot see anything because of the black surface.
You need to use white paper to see the printing.

Clean the print head then print a demo sheet.

1. Verify that inkjet paper is loaded in the paper trays.
2. On your desktop, start the KODAK All-in-One Home Center, then select the Help [?] icon.
3. From the Help menu, select Maintenance, then select Print head Cleaning. The On/Off light flashes green during the cleaning procedure.
4. When the On/Off light glows a steady green, press Photo and Copy simultaneously to print a demo sheet.

If the Demo print is bad- IE: no black, blurry print etc., then you may need to replace the print head:http://www.kodak.com/global/plugins/acrobat/en/service/manuals/AiOPrinters/printhead/AUR1780-9_UE_RevC.pdf I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/joe_8b8c2cd6ce148309

The Kodak 5300 aio is as unique as a '83 Buick Diesel I once owned. Only difference is it can't jump on a tow truck each time one passes by. Unleashing this abortion on the consumer is as sinful as was G.M. After two new print heads, hours of
frustration, and utilizing all known cuss works, I am finally carrying it out to the trash. Fingers are now crossed hoping the trash collector will accept it. &*^%&*. Shame on you Kodak.
Solution is.....buy any other brand of printer if you want peace of mind. [email protected]

You have to replace the empty cartridge

you just need to apply the press on the front so it you will not bang hard. its hard to close you just need to apply a bit pressure enough not to break it..

Did you install the Kodak software before connecting the printer to the computer? http://support.en.kodak.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/36460/selected/true has the software for Windows.

This error usually means that you installed the generic driver from the OS which only runs printer. Uninstall the current driver, disconnect the data cable (USB) and then restart your computer. Install the software from the Kodak site above. Then connect the data cable when prompted to do so. Try scanning after completing the installation procedure.

If you did install the Kodak software, it may have gotten corrupted. Please follow the above directions and let me know if you have any problems.

I hope this helps.
