20 Most Recent Kodak EASYSHARE 5100 All-In-One Printer - Page 2 Questions & Answers

We had the same problem from the 1st day! Finally I took out the cartridges, rapped them smartly a time or two, said four letter words at them and replaced them. They now show up as full and the blinky red lights went away. Don't know how long this will last...

Yes the cartridges of all newer printers have chip that indicates the cart ink level, when the cart is empty the chip self destructs.

did you use the reset menu?

it does not have ethernet adapter according to the specs no no ip address or interface ?. Do you have the optional bluetooth adapter with the printer. ? You may be able to connect via bluetooth http://classroom.synonym.com/make-kodak-printer-wireless-bluetooth-17749.html http://support.en.kodak.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1157/selected/true http://www.amazon.com/Kodak-Wireless-Adapter-Printer-Dock/product-reviews/B0006NMSK6

Run a "print-head-cleaning-cycle" -- the ink inside the cartridges is not getting through the ink-jets, and is not reaching the paper.

Either that, or the electronics inside the ink-jets are malfunctioning, i.e., not telling the ink-jets to shoot the ink out.

maybe the ink jet cartridge is depleted. This is common on all ink jet printers.
Or, the ink jet cartridge has tape on the head.

Maye a sensor is broken or dirty. I guess I would start by cleaning the inside of the printer with alcohol. Also, see if there is any paper stuck in it.

If you haven't bought one, just get another (maybe Brother) printer. Kodak printers eat heads for breakfast.
