Color of the picture printed out is not the same as the printed

Print head is clogged. An ink jet printer needs to be used at least once a month or you risk this happening. Keep trying to clean print head.

Hi,

follow the step by step solution from kodak.

Choose All-in-one printer and then Print quality and follow the further steps. I think it's a problem with your printhead.

Does the test print also print only half of the printer? If so, give Kodak a call - bad printer
If the test print works, try changing the usb cable.

press the menu button on the printer and go to clean print head and do a basic clean........make sure you are using genuine Kodak ink cartridges as there are retailers selling refilled and look alike.........if you still have same issue then its a print head issue and call kodak tech support they will replace it for you without any charge....let me know if this was helpful.........

how to put ina new printhead for a 5300 koda

Please call 1.800.421.6699 and select option 01 for prints missing black or color ink. Kodak will send you a replacement printhead kit for free. I hope this helps.

You have a bad printhead. It is a known defect and Kodak will send you a new printhead.

keeps giving me message "printing error" (prints ok from camera) i have probably messed up every setting by now

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.

Have you checked the ink level?
And does this happen only when you are tying to print a B&W only? Or if you print a color picture, does it print any black in the pictures?
