Printer Kodak Easyshare 5300 Will not print black ink

Kodak Easyshare 5300 I have a 5100 that just had the black print cartridge replaced. It will only print color no black will print. I followed the solution provided by Kodak staff and it still will not print black. Does that mean the printhead is bad?

    I have the same problem. I replaced the black ink cartridge and now I can't get it to print any black. So frustrating.

    I replaced both ink cartridges on my 5100 printer but it will not print black. Please send me another print head and ink cartridges to see if this will fix my printer.

    both cartridges are new. for a while it would print color but no black, now it won't even print color.

    my printer has stopped printing anything in black. If the words are black font nothing prints. If they are in a color other than black the words print so i'm missing anything in black

    I have the same problem with an EasyShare 5300

    Also, has anyone found a way of printing photos of size 45mm X 35mm required for UK passport renewal? I went on technical support chat line with Kodak but so far this not resolved

Contact Kodak Support and go though the following tests:

Remove and re-seat Printer Cartridge(s) - Done

Clean Printhead - Done

Calibrate Printer - Test Sheet Not Complete!

Run Computer Colour Test - Done

They will then send you a new Print Head.

Says replace ink cartridge
I have replaced my ink cartridges numerous times and they are still full. It keeps telling me the ink cartridge needs replacing. It won't print and the red light keeps blinking. I have disconnected the usb and the power. I have only had this printer for about a year. It won't scan or print. Its a Kodak Easyshare 5300. The HomeCenter AiO is disconnected so how do I contact anyone from Kodak?

Printer Kodak Easyshare 5300 Will not print black ink
Here are the things you will be asked to try if you call support. They may fix the problems as well. Taking the printhead out and putting it back in is the big helper.

Remove the black and color ink cartridges.
Right above where the black ink cartridge was, in the top left hand corner of the printhead, push up towards the ceiling and you should be able to push a button that releases the printhead.
Place the printhead right back into the printer and push straight back on the back wall.
You should hear a loud snap.
Replace the ink cartridges which should snap as well.
Close the printer.
After about a minute or so the printer will ask you to do a calibration.
Insert a paper and press start.
Scan the calibration sheet.
After that, in the menu, do a printhead clean.
(If this is a 5100, do it in the home center ->? in the top right ->Maintainence ->Clean Printhead.)
Do one basic and one deep.
Print a demo sheet to see if anything has changed.
If the picture looks better, continue to do cleans.
In the event that it does not, the printhead will need to be replaced and since the printer is still under warranty, Kodak specialists will try to overnight you a printhead.
The whole process is short and free.
The number for Kodak AiO Support is 1 800 421 6699.
