Kodak 5100 printer ink reset lights wont go out new ink installed.

Hi, the is a problem of dry ink on the cartridge. you must remove the cartridge and try cleaning with a soft cloth, preferably damp. after cleaning, you should see ink coming out the cartridge when you simply press/bring the cloth near the passage. Last option, immerse only the lower part in warm water for 2 mins.

Try to install the latest version of Printer software from www.kodak.com/go/downloads on your computer. then open the kodak home center osftware and click on print pictures. Adjust the settings and you are ready to go. download the user manual from www.kodak.com/go/manuals.

no,both ink cartridges should be installed into the printer.buy new ink cartridges from kodak online store if u want to buy.

Hi,
If you take the cartridge to walgreens, etc... they can clear the chip. There is none for home use

give them a call !

I have had the same frustrating problem.
I cntacted the Kodak live web chat help line and after removing the print head,switching the machine off for 1 min and reconnecting.Clean heads and recalibrate.
.....Still the same.
They then told me the print head was faulty and to contact Kodak for free repalcement.

I have a kodak 5100 it worked fine until I changed the black ink then it would only print 1 line called kodak yesterday at 9 am and they said they would send new printer head and new ink..it arrived this am and now printer is working fine. I think they know there is a big problem and need to do a recall.Did not think they would act so fast but they did.

printer had an error that couldnt be fixed so had to replace it.

Both printer ligh flash red yet both cartridges are new and full.

I have removed printer head and swiched of printer for 15min as suggested by Kodak but the red light still flash.

Please can you help.

Kind Regards - Patrick
