What do I do to get my ESP C15 Kodak to quit pulling in paper sideways?

throw it away and buy an epson, I fought this printer for two years and never won, always something wrong with it then it stopped working altogether, I got an epson wf3500 series printer for my wifes home office and it prints better pix than the kodak ever did, and it works and is still working.

Sorry I can't help you. I never got the printer to work at all so returned it.

I finally called a copier repair person for this problem. He had a easy, but counterintuitive, solution. Clean the paper feed roller with WD40. He explained why it worked (which I don't remember), but it certainly did work. Wipe off any excess of course.

I've had paper jams with a couple of my printers. If you can access the rubber rollers that move the paper through, take a cloth dampened with 409 and clean the rollers. See if this helps. It fixed my Konica Minolta (my favorite one) about 2 years and the intake of this Brother Printer and it stopped jamming.

I understand there is one on the Kodak website. The reviews I read cited the lack of a user manual as one of the negatives. I'll have to check out the "custom" mode.

Call konica minolta customer service--they are good. There is an advance function somewhere--maybe it's on the monitoring software (K). I'm out of the country so I cannot consukt the machine myself. Good luck.

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.

Maybe you need to do an alignment. OR When you go to printing preferences, click on Maintenance and there are options. Maybe you can find the option that will help.

I have had the same issue you must pull out will disconnected all the little papers that are stuck in the rollers that do not fall into the bin then it will run smooth again until you have to repeat the process.

try rebooting it by unplugging it for 30 seconds then plug it back in and start it to see see if that helps. Part of the problem is that when it jams all the way to the left and is not accessible because of the cover it is under, so you can't do anything with the printhead or the cartridges.

Yes. just figure out which direction to load the paper. If it's upside down it won't mark through.

Sounds like a bad printhead. You can try replacing it for about $40, or check to see if it's still under warranty. You may need receipts, warranty cards, UPC symbols and a notarized affidavit from your priest to get them to honor their warranty. I personally solved the same problem by smashing my ESP 2170 with a large sledgehammer and vowing never to buy another Kodak product.

The XP-850 has a rear paper port. You could try putting the paper in that port. Also, mine occasionally spits out the first sheet - apparently thinking regular paper is in Tray 2. Simply put 2 pieces of paper in Tray 2 - either 2 photo papers, or the top sheet is regular paper and the 2nd sheet is the photo paper. If the printer still has trouble, it might be because the photo paper is too thick and must be put in the rear paper port. See your Epson User's Guide for specific details on the rear paper port.

I had same problem. Took it all open and nothing was there. Called company for help. She told me to do same as online instructions which didnt solve it. Then the cartridges wouldnt move anymore and her solution: replace it. OFFERED REFURBISHED ONE FOR $88.Mine was 13 months old. Why would I want another inferior product? It is in the trash and I bought a new Epson. Never to buy Kodak again.

I don't have anything useful to tell you. Mine did the same thing. I had to scrap it and get a new one. The Kodak Hero is the worst printer I've ever used. Good luck!

It might be that the printhead is dirty. I save that blue alignment/cleaning card at the bottom of the stack of photo paper and run it through again (put it back on the bottom, with the printed side down, and it'll run through when you close the paper compartment cover). I also put it back on the bottom if it's going to be a while before I use the printer again.

I agree with the first answer. The sad thing I learned is that a jammed printhead is a common cause of failure of this printer. It wan't a paper jam, although the readout said it was. The printhead jammed and there was no way to move it. Mine was only 13 mo. old so they wouldn't replace it and when I called they had no remedy other than searching for paper jam. For this reason I would never buy another Kodak.
