I had my esp3 stop printing black also. I bought new cartridges even tho' I knew the ones in the printer were at least half full. Still not printing black. I finally called Kodak support and got a tech who was the first tech from India who could speak English well. He was very helpfull but in the end he told me he would send me the printer head because that was the problem. My printer was not used for about a month and the head dried up. The tech said that printer must be used about twice a week and the best way was to print the test by using the 'Scan' and 'Copy' at the same time. There was no sense telling the tech this is a huge flaw in the printer as he must have been hearing this for a long time. After I received the new printer head it prints fine. This is an absolutely huge flaw in this printer. If they can't make a different style of head for this printer these will stop being used................. So if you have the ESP3 (I don't know about the other models) and don't use it often the head will dry up and you can't clean it (according to the tech I talked to). Kodak should send these free for the life of the machine in my opinion.

Press and hold Cancel and Copy button simultaneously until the On/Off light flashes green. you will see a flashing green on your printer it means its now cleaning the printhead

You can also clean a printhead using computer., first you need to launch the Home center software On your computer and on the uppr right corner of the windows of the software click help icon(?) then go to maintenance and under maintenance you should see the clean printhead. GudlucK!

Try initiating the scan from the computer, once you plug in the USB cable into your computer, go to My Computer, right click the sanner (should be called something along the lines of KODAK ESP.....) and press scan, then click which program you'll use to scan it, I usually do the Microsoft one, Good luck!!

I had the same problem. The icon disappeared. Then the 100-2105 error message came up.

The solution on the kodak web site worked for me.

I had this exact problem and was able to fix it quickly. My black would not print or was printing lightly.

1) Open the printer and remove the black cartridge
2) Saturate a cotton ball with alcohol
3) push the cotton ball into the small pad/screen where the ink goes
4) wait a few seconds then replace the black cartridge
5) run maintenance app and do a cleaning then a test page

In my case this cleared up the problem quickly and without a lot of mess or dis-assembly
