Printing we print paper and it goes through all the motions but nothing prints. have cleaned heads put in new cartridges and still does not work

Hi, the problem is the print head, even if the cartridges are full if the print head is defective, blank print/copies will come out

Call up kodak. If you already put in a new printhead, there really is nothing to do but replace the machine,

The Ink at the head of your Printer Cartridges has dried up.
Try this:

Load some plain paper in the printer

Remove the cartridges from the printer and carefully dab the print heads of the cartridges with a damp paper towel. ( when you start to see ink, the ink is starting to flow).

Replace the cartridges into the printer.

Go to:

Start
Control Panel
Printers
RIGHT click on this printer
choose Printing preferences
services
clean print cartridges 9some papers may print)
follow the instructions and do the heavier cleaning as well

Run the calibration function and allow the paper to print.

your print head is either clogged or damaged, A print head is the unit your ink cartriges sit in. If its a nedw or newer printer (under warranty) you can contact the manufacturer and they will send you a new print head at little to no cost-good luck

Try cleaning the heads. This should get the printer cartidges unclogged so the ink comes out. Also are you using epson cartridges or generic. How old are they. If new or quality generic. Its probably the head needs to be cleaned go through that process 2 or 3 times as its much cheaper than new cartridges.

take your ink cartridge out from your printer. you can see at the ink carriage there are little pipes where the ink usually flow from cartridge. If head cleaning and power cleaning does not work, then try to clean those pipes by using 96% alcohol fluids and **** the pipes using something.

Nothing at all? Poor you are. The pump may damage or lost electricity.

just put in RMA

Did you try with new cartridges?
If yes and your problem remains, there is a problem with the printheads, they will need to be replaced.

Common problem with Epson Printers.
Either the print head is clogged, or the tube that goes from the pump to the printhead fell off.

Open the printer cover so that the ink cartridges are in open view and then UNPLUG THE PRINTER" so that the ink cartridges wont go back to home position. (If there is a change INK cartridge button, then press that then uplug the printer when the cartridge stops moving.)

You can try to clean the print head by folding up a couple paper towels, then saturate it with windex with amonia. Place it under the print head assembly and manually move the print head assembly over the paper towel back and forth to clean the bottom of the print head assembly. You should start seeing ink on the paper towel.

After cleaning, run the cleaning program that Epson has, and try it out.
If it still doesn't work, then you might have to repeat this a couple more times.
If it still doesn't work, then it might be time to get a new printer.
Hope this info helps.
Good luck.
