how do you replace the ink on a kodak esp 5250?

Lift the part right under the word Kodak, which is located right above the paper tray. The print head should come automatically to the area where you can squeeze the ink toner and lift it up to remove. It is very easy to replace once you remove the wrapper and the orange plastic cover protecting the ink in the cartridge. Just slide it in back first, then the front snaps in. Close everything and you are ready to go. I usually do the maintenance at this time to clean the print heads and make sure all is lined up again.

Order from Amazon. There is Kodak ink and some generics. We use the generic LD-KOD10BULK INK CARTRIDGE SET. Fits the 5250 and states that the warrentey will not be nullified if this generic is used. Other generics will nullify the warrentey.

In short: often and constantly. Worst printer I ever owned. To replace ink, lift up the edge under the scanner and the ink trays will slide out so you can unpop the old and pop in the new. I would recommend an Epson WorkForce instead, save yourself the hassle of constantly redownloading the driver because printer prints blank pages.

Remove the CIS Ink System and then snap it back in. Also on the top right of the Ink cartridge is a small white button. Press the button for about 10 seconds, close the lid and check. You may also try youtube, they have a lot of answers for the CIS Ink System.

I am not familiar with esp 3.2 so I can't be of help. I have an ESP Office 2170. You might check the Kodak website to see if the ink is compatible. Sorry I can't be of more help.

what you might try to do is to peel the bar code from the old cartridge, then stick it to the new cartridge you are replacing. What it's doing is fooling the printer into thinking your using a lexmark cartridge.

I don't think you can! That is one reason why mine went into the garbage! I think it is shameful that Kodak programmed the printer that way and will not purchase another Kodak printer. I like my new Canon much better!

Yes, the items I ordered are for the 5250 Kodak. The part no. is 6J2162. It is very easy to change and cures most print problems.

I Just replaced my black ink..Printer is ON, lift that large top lid... plus the part with CANON written on it...Both inks move to center...Once lid (top) is up you can plainly see both inks--Color's on left, black ink on right. Lift the old one out and once you have the new Black one in hand slip it into the black compartment--turn downward slightly and push gently into slot. Close lid, then lift the small lid on the right front of the printer/be sure it is turned to ON---green light shows. PRESS ON, OKAY and BLACK if it is a black refill you have replaced. Close top lid & allow printer to do its thing as it prepares that new cartridge for another few months. DONE.

The non-oem ink cartridges usually has an Automatic Reset Chips. Take out the cartridges that are not recognized for 2-5 seconds and place them back in. This will trick the printer to recognize the ink cartridge as new.

You can try hitting the reset button for 5 seconds and it will still use that cartridge, but I had to buy new ink from somewhere else after using ink from E-Z Ink for only a month or so before they ran out.

You can't. I spent 3 hrs on the phone with Kodak tech support to come to the realization its a rip off. I never used my color ink cartridge, ever and it kept saying it was out. Something in the software tells it is empty when it's not. Il stay away from this line of printers

the only thing I can tell you is it says esp 3,5,7,9 and all in one inkjet printers easyshare. If you have a manual look there otherwise just take the cartridge in it to staples etc.... you can also use kodak or google.

Just push up on the plastic cover and remove. Lift out ink roller and put in new roller.

There is no ink to replace. The printer uses thermal labels. That is a real perk with this printer...never have to replace an ink cartridge.

Don't know what the ink service module is. Whatever it is, I haven't had to replace it for the 2 years I've used this printer. You need to replace the ink cartridges, just as with any printer. It's a LOT easier than any other printer I'd owned (more than a dozen over the years, HP & other brands).

No, you can't refill nor can you use compatible generic cartridges, tried both, it won't get recognized.You're stuck paying the higher prices. Very smart of Kodak to manufacture the printer in such a way you HAVE to buy new OEM Kodak ink.On the other hand, I won't buy another Kodak printer again.

My advice is to cut your losses and replace the printer. I could not resolve the issues with this printer as much as I tried including online help from Kodak which by the way recommended that I go and buy more ink. After spending $30 on ink which is about 40% the price of the printer, it is now collecting dust in my garage. I already replaced it with an HP after 4 months of use. Kodak products are substandard including a digital camera I bought. Do not buy their products in the future.
