Dear Kbrownsr,

Please check the ink/toner levels of the cartridges installed in your printer.

Steps to solve this problem.

1.) Check the ink levels by using the printer software provided with the printer.
2.) if the ink levels are low, the cartridges has to be replaced/refilled with new ones.
3.) if the ink levels are high or medium, try to do a calibration for the printer using printer tools provided by the printer vendor/ software.
4.) please do a cleaning cartridge and align cartridge options in the printer tools followed by a second calibration.
5.) if the ink levels are showing medium/high and still if the problem occurs, remove the cartridges from the printer and shake them well left to right and top to bottom. it may work fine.

if you did all these steps , and still find that problem is not solved, you may have to contact the concerned service technician for advanced help

All the best from FixYa

I have an all-in-one Kodak ESP 3250 printer. Bought it 4 months ago. I'm interested in printing only in black, but now the color cartridge has emptied and it won't let me print with the black cartridge...

The KODAK All-in-One Printer uses an advanced built-in printhead. The system is designed to provide excellent image and text quality, while eliminating the need to purchase new printheads every time you replace ink cartridges, and saving you money. The printing system requires that both the black and color ink cartridges be installed to print. If either cartridge is not installed or is out of ink, the printer or printhead will not print correctly.


Install the color a new cartridge, avoid damage to the print head.


If I could be of further assistance, let me know. If this helps or solves the issue, please rate it and give a testimonial for my response

Thanks, Joe

I want to print in black and white, but i have no colour ink and it still won't let me print?

The Kodak printer is tricky ...if you went through some of the steps to download a printing utility to fix any printing error..... then the problem is the fact that you do not have color ink that's the trick with the Kodak printer...it's 30 bucks for a pack of Kodak black and color ink package...trust me ...lol...I had a client that had the same problem.... both ink needs to be above parr in order to print ...

Hi,

follow the step by step solution from kodak.

Choose All-in-one printer and then Print quality and follow the further steps. I think it's a problem with your printhead.

Kodak ESP 5 runs out of ink after about 40 pages of standard text black & white documents. Also the color ink level is dropping, but no color is being used (the printer is set for black & white...

As far as the quantity of black & white - to get more out of it - go to start menu.. Click on on settings,, then printers,, Right click on the ESP 5,, click on printing preferences,, then clcik on draft,, then click on (at the top) advanced,, click on black & white.. Then click on apply then ok..
Now - every time you print it will be in this mode.. If you want to print in color - you will have to choose that each time..
For you black & white docs - this will print faster & use allot less ink..
As far as your color issue & puddling - It could be the printer head.. If it is new enough - call Kodak & maybe get a replacement.. If to old - maybe keep the color cartrige out and caped with the plastic caps until you need to print color.. Snap it in & out as needed..
I hope this helped..
