My KodakEasy Share 5300 will not print in black.

I have a Kodak Easy Share 5300. It prints color elements fine, but will not print using the black cartidge--anything, not text, not black elements in a photograph, etc. I have tried recalibrating the printer and the test page does not print properly, but there is no recalibration. By, the way, the ink cartridge is new.

Have you done the deep cleaning o the printhead? If yes try to reseat the printhead and the ink cartridges, but do not forget to calibratre it again because you need to calibrate the printer everytime you remove the printhead.

If this issue not solve it means printhead is clogged you need to call kodak 1 800 421 6699 for printhead replacement i think its free of charge

Maybe you didn`t remove the protection from the cartridge, (some tape with a piece of paper on the cartridge`s flexband).

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.

Kodak 5300 not printing colors

Kodak told me to take the printhead off and reseat it several times, which I did. I then deep cleaned it, calibrated it, and replaced the color cartridge. It didn't solve the problem. Kodak will replace the printhead for free, and after I return the defective one, will send me a free color and black cartridge. Very nice service. I've been very happy with the 5300.
