Hello junebug88,

Yes you need to recalibrate the printer after replacing the printhead. If it's a 5100 printer just press the "Photo" and the "Copy" button at the same time. It will calibrate the printer and after that you need to put the calibrated paper into the scanner glass and press start to start the media calibration sensor.

I hope I have been some of help... Take care.

    To install the printhead for 5500 as well as all kodak AIO Printers, make sure you've already removed the ink cartridges. Then remove the old printhead by pushing the small button on top of the printhead and disengage it. after that you need to put the printhead inside the carriage and then push the top of it with the sticker in it and then you should hear a snapping sound to confirm that it is properly placed. ^_^

Printer won't print in colour, keeps saying recalibration needed

Blocked print head nozzles
Inkjet printers need to be used frequently to prevent blocked print head nozzles. You may have blocked print head nozzles.
Try the printer maintenance to clear the printer nozzles.
After several deep cleaning attempts and there is no improvements in the print then a new print head is required. Also try - Removing the print head, run it under hot water for 2 mins, then let soak for 10 min. then used a can of compressed air to dry thoroughly. It may fix the blocked nozzles.
A new print head maybe expensive and it maybe more cost effective to purchase a new printer.

Will not print

The Kodak EasyShare line of printers is designed to be user friendly and is intended for novice computer users. The printers feature direct camera-to-printer connections, easy-to-use software, and simple paper loading. If you are having issues with your Kodak EasyShare printer, here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the problem.

Update EasyShare Software

If your printer is new or it has been awhile since you have used it, your software may be out of date. This can cause your printer to respond slowly (or not at all) and may interfere with online functionality. To update your Kodak EasyShare software, go to the link in the Resource section and click on the "Download" link to automatically install the latest software.
Printer Interior Is Dirty

Although its easy to think that all electronics are clean and streamlined, for most printers this simply isn't the case. After frequent use, ink smears and splatters will line your printhead. This can cause your printed documents to appear blotchy, uneven or streaky. Luckily, cleaning your print head is a snap. Simply open the EasyShare program and select "Print Head Cleaning" to run the manual print head cleaning operation. For a deeper clean, you can open the top of the printer and clean the bottoms of the ink cartridges (as well as the print bar) with some moist cotton swabs.
Printer Needs to Be Recalibrated

When a printer is calibrated, the print head has been set to work with a specific type of paper and is in the optimum position for printing documents with crisp, clear lines. However, after frequent use, the calibration may fade, and you'll notice your document printing close to one side, or text and images going off the page. To fix this, you will have to recalibrate the printer by removing the printhead and ink cartridges. Replace the printhead by pressing it firmly back into place until you hear a snap. When the printer initializes, press the "Menu" button, and then choose "Calibrate Printer." Your printer should reposition the print head, and a test page will print out. If everything looks straight, your printer has been recalibrated successfully. If not, you may want to contact Kodak Support via its website. See the Resource section for a link.

I hope you find it very helpful. Best regards.

I have replaced the ink cartridges and recalibrated the printer, but still cannot get the black to work...any suggestions?

Contact Kodak support. The printer head goes out on the Kodak all in one. A real bad problem. I have two new ones sent to me from Kodak because of the printer head problems, then sent me a new printer. Now I'm just waiting for this one to go. If your unit is under warranty (OneYear) they will send you a free printer head and if that does not work they will send you a refurbished printer.
