According to the Kodak website, you should follow this procedure:

1. Disconnect the power adapter from the printer.
2. Wait 30 seconds to allow the printer to reset.
3. Connect the power adapter to the printer. Turn on the printer, if necessary.

If the error continues:

1. Open the printer access door.
2. Remove and install the printhead two times.
3. Close the printer access door.
4. Wait until the printer is ready to use.
5. If the error is displayed, contact Kodak

By your reference to 'rear door' are you referring to the 'Rear-access cleanout area' as shown in the manual - item no. 6 - see extract below:

How do I install a new printhead in my all-in-one printer? To replace the printhead in your all-in-one printer:

1. Make sure the printer is on.
2. Lift the printer access door and wait for the carriage to move to the access position.
   
   NOTE: For ESP 3250 and ESP 5250 all-in-one printers:
   • On the printer control panel, press Home.
   • Select Maintenance, then press OK.
   • Select Install Ink Cartridges, then press OK.
     If "Install Ink Cartridges" is not an available selection, upgrade the firmware.
   
   
3. Remove any paper that may be loaded in the printer.
4. Remove the black and color ink cartridges and set them aside.
5. Remove the existing printhead:
   
   • For ESP Series Printers, unlatch the printhead by lifting the latch in the center of the carriage.
     
     
     
   • For 5000 Series Printers, unlatch the printhead by pressing the button in the upper-left corner of the carriage.
     
     
     
     
6. Lift the printhead out of the carriage.
7. Remove the new printhead from its bag.
   
   CAUTION: Do not touch the copper contacts on the printhead, as this may damage it.
   
   
8. Remove the plastic protective shields.
9. Place the new printhead into the carriage.
   
   
10. Push firmly against the target label of the printhead until you hear a loud snap.
    
    
    
11. Insert the color ink cartridge into the printhead and press down until you hear it click into place.
12. Insert the black ink cartridge into the printhead and press down until you hear it click into place.
13. Close the printer access door.
    
    The printer detects the new printhead. Follow the instructions on the LCD to calibrate your printer.
    NOTE: ESP 3 all-in-one printers do not require calibration.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to use KODAK Ink Cartridges. Your KODAK All-in-One Printer is designed to work with KODAK Ink Cartridges. Kodak is not responsible for the compatibility or performance of either non-Kodak brand ink cartridges or refilled ink cartridges. You can purchase KODAK Ink Cartridges from the KODAK Store.

Contact Kodak. I think it's the batch of printers that were made around this time. I just contacted them (mine is the same age and I'm getting the same error), and they are sending me a new printer.

To resolve the error condition:

1. Disconnect the power adapter from the printer.

2. Wait 30 seconds to allow the printer to reset.

3. Connect the power adapter to the printer. Turn the printer on if necessary.

4. Wait until the printer is ready to use.

If the error condition continues:

1. Open the printer access door.

2. Remove and install the print head two times. - See http://faqs.kodak.com/atg/faq/attachments/AUR1780-2.pdf

3. Close the printer access door.

4. Wait until the printer is ready to use.

5. If the error is still displayed, contact Kodak

Never used this printer but most printers have an access door in the back have you tried that?

You can buy another 3250 printer and take the parts out of that one.
Or, you can return the broken printer because it is still under warranty.
You make the choice.

Yes sounds to me like one of your ink cartridge is empty. Replace and try again.
