Had this problem w my last Kodak printer, had to order new print head after trying several things w customer service. Got new part, installed next day something else broke, customer service then said I needed new printer. Only reason I got another Kodak was the price and I already had a bunch of the ink that I couldn't return so I bought another one. This one paper jams daily. I don't think I'll buy another Kodak

I don't remember how they told me to do that, but customer support was really friendly and were a big help. My printhead went out shortly after I got my printer, they sent a new one with instructions on replacement and it took about 2 minutes to install it. Printer has been fantastic ever since (about 7 months or so).

I had same experience as lestermel, extremely poor customer service from Kodak advised that I needed a replacement. Printer was purchased from Sears and was under warranty. Kodak promised to ship the part, but they never did. I contacted them several times with no success. I finally discarded the printer as trash. I would never but another product manufactured by Kodak, poor quality, poor support and no warranty. It is no wonder to me that they filed bankruptcy.

Mine is not loose now, but I think it was when it came in. There are various screws, find the ones that attach the parts that are loose, and tighten them. Hope that helps,

I'm not sure a new print head would definitely fix your problem, but I had a strange error message a couple of years ago, decided to buy a new print head and my printer has worked perfectly ever since.

The print head is probably clogged. Google it, and you will find directions on how to remove it and clean it. Do NOT use the maintance feature. It will clog it more. Good luck

Well, the CSR, when I called Canon, was very helpful and there was no wait time. But I wasn't aware that the print heads were easily replaced - are you sure you replaced them already, or did you just replace the cartridge? Because it does sound like a clogged head.

Without standing in front of the printer it would be impossible to give you a complete answer. I would start by turning off the "form tear off" option. There is a small chance that will fix your problem.

As much as I would like to help, I'm afraid there is not much advise I can offer. If you have the device on the rear of your printer that permits printing on two sides of the paper, I suggest removing it and looking for any paper stuck in the device or up in the printer itself. Be sure the reversing device is reinstalled ind latched well. There is not much more that I can suggest. Bob

If you contact Brother, they can help. Their CSR Rep was able to help me Purge the print head and now I'm back in business. I got a back-up printer just in case.

did you try removing the cartridges out, that happened to me once, took cartridges out so the head will start to move again, back and forth

Very likely the print head is dried up. Sometimes a drop of water may make it work but no guarantee ... pls try on your own.

I could not get the print heads to work and my HP Office Jet 8500Pro is siting idle. I could not find a way to make it work. I spent hours withHP tech Support and they could not help, they suspect that the print heads are defective, I wish you can help.Dov Novick at: m34fun@yahoo.com

My issue wasn't with the printhead - although I found out that my problem with installing the ink cartridges was resolved when I reinstalled the print head. Apparently I had not pressed hard enough on it so it was not level and precluded the cartridges from installing properly.That said, I have no idea about your issue and would suggest you start a new discussion so that your specific problem gets attention. I think it will be lost in my ink cartridge question and you're more likely to get some advice from a separate discussion. GOOD LUCK! Nan

Try this. grasp the sides of the ink cartridge firmly and the press the front top clip on the cartridge till you can pull it straight up. If that doesn't work do the same (pressing front top clip on the cartridge) and jiggle the sides of the cartridge and at the same pulling up gently until it breaks lose. It's also possible to remove the print head but that can be done by squeezing the two clips at the back top of the print head and lifting. I would avoid this unless it's absolutely necessary because you may have to replace the print head once removed. Just be careful and work gently with the information described above. Good luck.

Take the tray out of the bottom and turn the printer on it's front side. Use some rubbing alcohol and a towel to clean the rubber paper pickup in the middle. Problem solved--for awhile.

You can try reset your printer by restarting your computer and your printer. You may also need to reinstall the drivers or install a new updated driver

Have you tried restarting the printer? You might need to clean the heads, use your printer software that came with your printer and it will self clean.
