the ink is not printing is it the printhead?

This happened to me when I used refill ink cartrage,so I went on line to Kodak and bought a new one and it worked.

It was when I had this problem. Be warned, though, if Kodak encourages you to spend the money on a new printhead (they also talked me into new ink): neither fixed the problem, and a follow-up call to Kodak confirmed that the printer was toast. I had to recycle the newly purchased ink and printer. Kodak would not refund the new printhead.

if the printhead does not move back and forth, it probably is and certainly not worth repairing. I wouldn't ever buy another one of these again. mine only lasted slightly over 1 yr, by that time the warranty was over. Just the way they like it...

If you put in a new cartridge and it doesn't work and if you've had it for more than a year.. probably so.

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.

I am not quite sure, because my printer is having some problems. And I am not sure as to what is the exact cause with the printing. So, I don't want to steer you wrong, ok.

The printhead is the core of the printer (and electronics). From a practical standpoint it is not replaceable. Buy something new that is NOT HP!

Check your user's manual. It should tell you which cartridge your printer uses. If it says the 564 cartridge, the printhead should work if the old one can be removed.

You will probably have to buy a new printhead. The company misleads customers by advertising that "you can save on printing and ink. They don't tell us that it uses both cartridges to print in color and in black only too. If you don't use it frequently it will start to malfunction. I put a brand new black cartridge in and I barely used it when it malfunctioned because I didn't have a color cartridge. Not pleased with this product!

You can also go through the printer's maintenance and try have the printer perform a print head cleaning as well. I was having some major problems with mine too (it just turned out that I was using cheap ink).

Very likely the print head is dried up. Sometimes a drop of water may make it work but no guarantee ... pls try on your own.

Cindy, I couldn't get it to work at all. They said sometimes the print heads have to be replaced. A printer would cost less...Bob

Almost certainly your printer has a dirty or clogged print head on one of the cartridges. Use the utilities to assist in diagnosing the problem. Regards, Bill

If the cartridge works properly. My last cartridge did not print the top of the picture and when I put in a new cartridge it did the same thing. However, I'm not sure that something did not happen internally to the "printer dock" so I have just set it aside for now.

I also tried the exact same thing with the exact same result....the 3EBk does not print. Don't waste your $50 buying a new print head, it won't work. I suspect Canon knows about this problem, and possibly created it.... they are, after all, the ones selling the print heads ..... and new printer... which is the only solution to the problem. I have to go bleach the ink off my hands now..

Missing colours sounds like a clogged printhead. As for the cartridge...I don't know why

First of all you are very lucky it is still working. There are faults on the PCB capacitors which make the printer constantly recycle. If you are using the photo paper pack with the cartridges then I was informed by a reliable source that there is just enough ink to print the paper pack included. Could this be the reason?

That was my problem. I bought a printhead replacement in November 2014 but by the time it arrived, my printer was working again. So I set the printhead aside, unopened. Last week, I had the same problem, so I used the replacement that I bought here. Once it was in place, I got a message that said "Ink System Failure." I took it out and put it back in several times, with the same result. I came to Amazon to see if I could send it back, but was told that the return period expired in January. So now I'm out $70 for a printhead that doesn't work. I'm very disappointed.

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.

Sounds daft but have you pulled the tab off the new cartridge properly? Theres sometimes a clear film over where the ink comes out for stopping it drying out whilst on the shelf. Try print head alignment through the maintenence function
