Canon Piixma MP490: Why won't the Kodak paper work?
923066
I don't know for sure the answer, but I can suggest one. I worked in the coated fine paper industry for quite a while. In inkjet printing, there are several ways to make the coatings, and several ways to make the inks, but they do NOT all work with each other. Often you need a particular match of ink and paper (coating) types together to work properly. So, your experience - Canon paper works fine in the new Canon printer, but not Kodak paper - is not surprising. I have had small problems - slow ink drying - using HP paper in my Canon Pixma MP500 printer, but nothing really bad. Canon paper works fine, and I'm shopping for some now.

Sorry I cannot assist you with that. My Kodak 2170 is the worst purchase ever. It never worked correctly and I gave up trying to use it after about nine months.

I've got a Canon iP4300 which uses the same cartridges as the MP600. When I replaced my ink with generic cartridges (and moved the chip to the generic), I had to hold down the reset button for 5-10 seconds which tells the printer to ignore the error. On the PC, it shows an empty cartridge with an "X" above it, but it prints fine. I would imagine it would work with an empty cartridge in the same manner.

I have no idea. You want to ask the seller. I have a MP490 Canon Pixma. Thanks.

You're not particularly clear on exactly what isn't working. For example, does the button not respond or does the page come through without anything on it? A good debugging step would be to see if it prints in black/white and gray scale. Then you would know it isn't in the cartridges. Another potentially stupid suggestion...have you tried googling the specific problem to see if others have already solved it?

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.

Try reinstalling and be sure it has clicked into place. I have had no problems with it working with my Epson 410xp.

I had a similar problem with my Kodak ESP 6150. My printer was still printing, but the print quality was very poor. Replacing the print head did solve the problem, but within less than a year the problem came back. I found the print heads both on Amazon and ebay. They say that this problem occurs when you use remanufactured ink cartridges. I was using original Kodak ink cartridges and still had this problem. I would not recommend this printer for anyone, less than two years old and the print heads jammed and could not be fixed. Too many problems.

If you bought cartridges with photo paper the black cartridge in that package won't work unless you have the printer with the photo option.

Sorry, to say, I don't know. I have a Pixma MP530 and it works great. I think I purchased it last year (it's been a while so I'm not quite sure) and it's still working without a problem.

Although I've read about it, I've never had the problem with my camera. There is a firmware update from Kodak to solve the problem. This is the link: http://support.en.kodak.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/17507/kw/m580/selected/true

Also if it's a new, fast 32 gig card you might need to check for a firmware update for the zi6 with Kodak online. Also format the card.

Make sure you have the paper type properly set. I accidently set mine to card stock, deactivating duplex printing for that tray.
