I was having this same problem, I have purchased 3 Kodak printers it has been the same problem with all of them its your printer head and they can cost as much as a new printer after the 3rd one I threw it out and bought me a HP printer they are the best.

it might be that the print head itself has stopped working. this seems to be a common complaint with this model. I bought a replacement on line and that sorted the problem for a while.

I wish I could help you. It is not a good printer, I have other problems. I wish I had returned it.

You need to set the no. Of pages to be duplexed, using up and down arrows on the right of the printer after clicking on duplex. Hope that helps. :-)

Plug the old one back in and see if everything works like it's supposed to. That will tell you if it's a problem with the cartridge. Next step would be to try the other, new cartridge you got and see if it causes the paper jam alert. The other resource to utilize is the printer manufacturer. Ask a tech rep.

First make sure there is not a piece of paper jammed. If it looks ok then shut the printer off and unplug it for a minute. Plug it back in and turn it on, should clear it.

My printer does the same thing. I just simply bypass it is and it still prints. The problem is that the ink cartridge isn't the manufacturers brand name replacements and it doesn't recognize it.

I had the same problem. In my case, it wasn't the cartridge. I eventually purchased another printer.

I've been having the same problem with cardstock. It would just feed through blank. I went into the Setup menu --> Printer Setup --> Paper Source Settings --> Paper Configuration and turned it OFF. After that, the cardstock has been running through just fine.

I think that the paper catch is malfunctioning. I would return the printer and get a replacement. Mine works fine BTW Also, if you are not able to use the wireless feature you may have made an error setting up the printer. It isn't connecting properly to your wireless router. When you get a replacement check the user manual that Dell has online for instructions about making the wireless connection.

If any cartridge is empty, the printer will no work. I always have cartridges on hand, but you should get a warning that one is running low

Despite some claims, all do not work with all printers. Return it and get your money back.

Sounds like your settings need to be changed back to a paper setting. Go into the settings on your printer and change it there.

Make sure there is paper in it and hit the stop reset button. It will print everything that did notalready print that is waiting in the memory.
