    Copied pages started to fade with new cartridge in place.

    Ran diagnostics page and got no black ink on page

    Printer now will not print black and white.

    Cleaned printer head. Did not help.

    This model is notorious for printhead problems .

    These printers have ink cartridges with separate head. Replacing the ink won't help if the head are clogged.Try a deep cleaning from the menu. Cleaning might not unclog them either. You might need to have the printhead removed and replaced.

Kodak Easy Share 5100 will not print after I changed black cartridge

Press copy and photo at the same time and print a demo sheet. Look at the eyes of the two kids in the picture, if they look like zombies, your printhead is clogged. try cleaning the printhead and print the demo again. If it's the same, you need a new printhead. Call Kodak.
