I have printed on these cards using word 2010. First you have to remember that if you want to print only on one-half, you have to make adjustments as to where the print is. I measured where I wanted to print, adjusted the word doc to the same measurement and printed it out on a piece of paper first. Held it up to the light and the card to make sure it was where I wanted it. Then you can adjust your text from there. Hope this helps!

The ones I bought are blank on front and back. They can be written on. I print my address labels and then tape them to the front.

I would check your black and white print quality setting. When I had one of these, the lowest quality print setting would leave horizontal lines. The middle settings worked better. Another option that you might enjoy would be to smash your printer to pieces with the largest blunt instrument that you can find, because this is the worst printer of all time. Option 1 is easy and just takes a few mouse clicks; Option 2 involves cleanup and safety goggles. Best of luck to you on either option.

I'm not familiar with your series of printer but I do know that all Kodak printers operate this way. You must have a cartridge (that has ink) in both sides of the cartridge holder in order for the printer to print. The printers wont print when one cartridge is empty. Its just a defalt setting that Kodak has installed on all of their printers and they claim its to ensure perfect prints every time you print... Honestly I think its just a way for Kodak to make more money, to make sure that we have to buy both color and black/white cartridges. With all that being said, this is the best price I have found on these cartridges especially when you purchase a subscription plan and they always seem to come in just in time for me! Good luck!

I am sorry you are having this problem. They are very handy little machines; the one I had before this one lasted almost 15 years. It sounds to me as though your machine is broken. As long as you are pressing the button marked Print, you seem to be doing everything correctly. You need to return the machine. Sorry I could not be more helpful.

I went to their website and used their label printing wizard tool thing, typing out what we wanted the labels to say. I then printed to a laser printer right from the website tool. Then I did the same thing for the backside so the labels were printed front and back. Oh, Before I printed the actual label I printed to a blank sheet of paper to make sure the orientation and alignment were right, and I had to make small adjustments on the first side to make it print where I wanted (centered basically). So definitely do a test run first. Hope that helps!

Never have had any problems, make sure cartridge snaps into place and stickers are removed. Try a test print and alignment.

The trick is to create labels that are just slightly larger than the 2" sticker (I make mine 2.05") so that any printer-feed issues will not cause white space. Just remember to make your design well within the 2" border. Also, the paper and print options will greatly effect the result, so you might have to experiment. My HP printer did a great job with these, (plain paper, high quality print setting) while my brand new Epson stinks! Everything prints faintly, no matter what the setting. I now go to Office Max and print for $.50 a sheet. Perfect!

hi, the cartridges are empty, just add ink. Seal them with the plugs. Gentley rock the cartridges and install into the printer, and print. Please excuse and grammer mistakes. I'm on my iPhone.

I have not run across this problem yet, but I believe if you print in black you should still be able to print without replacing the color that has run out. Hope this helps.

Need the duplexer installed on the back of the printer(mine came with it in the box). Would depend on the OS print dialog, but somewhere in the printing preferences there is a place where you can specify 2-sided as default..I put long edge. But if you do not do that, when you hit "print" also there would be in the printing dialog box that comes up a way to do it for that print job usually under options or properties there would be a way to specify 2-sided for that particular print job.

This is not a good solution but I was under a deadline and had to get documents printed. I would suggest investing in a Brother b&w laser and keeping this one for color, faxing and scanning. Here is how you can get it to print b&w with empty color cartridges: Take the empty color cartridge out. You will notice that it is spring-loaded and if you push the side that is towards the printer, there is a little window that shows the ink level. While pushed in, tape the ink tank window with black electric tape. Be careful and make sure the tape covers only the ink tank window. Insert the cartridge back and the printer will show that color cartridge as full. Make sure to do this with all the color cartridges when they get empty and print in black and white ONLY. Printing color may damage the printer if you do this!! B&W only!

Sorry, I can't be much help. The ones that came with the printer didn't last long. Figured I'd get the bigger ones. Have to say I'm very displeased with the amount of printing from one cartridge. Perhaps the cartridges that came with the printer were some sort of sample size.

here's a huge tip: never update the firmware of your printer - it is entirely unnecessary. If it's not broke don't fix it! That being said, I got these to work with my printer xp410 after unplugging it and restarting a few times. It was a headache but I saved big $$$$

I have not printed these sizes, but I do use the rear tray to keep and print 8.5 x 5.5 (half page label) and I have printed stacks of these without jamming. Hope this helps!

f streaking or print quality problems occur, first check that the printheads are positioned correctly in the carrier: 1 Press Menu&gt; until you see the Utilities Menu. 2 Press Select. 3 Press Menu&gt; until you see Change Printhead. 4 Press Select. 5 Open the printer cover. The carrier moves to the load position at the center of the printer. 6 Raise the carrier handle up and back down to reseat the printheads. 7 Close the cover. If this does not solve the problem, a printhead may be plugged with dried ink. Doing a Short Clean should fix most print quality problems: 1 Press Menu&gt; until the Utilities Menu appears. 2 Press Select. 3 Press Menu&gt; until Clean Printheads appears on the second line of the displayPress Select. Short Clean appears on the second line of the display. 5 Press Select. Once the Short Clean finishes, a test page prints four color bars. If you do not see an improvement, do a Long Clean. Keep in mind, however, that a Long Clean uses a substantial amount of ink and takes some time to run. 1 Press Menu&gt; until the Utilities Menu appears. 2 Press Select. 3 Press Menu&gt; until Clean Printheads appears on the second line of the display. 4 Press Select. 5 Press Menu&gt; until Long Clean appears on the second line of the display. 6 Press Select.
