You can get a Kodak Bluetooth adapter made for it for around $50, or if you just want to hook it to a home wireless network, you can get a wireless print server like this http://www.nextwarehouse.com/item/?1218740_g10eand just plug any printer you want into it.

Sometimes one gets a cartridge that has a defective chip and cannot be recognized by the printer. Return the cartridge where you purchased it and get a new one. If the new one is not recognized, you will need to have the printer serviced or replaced. Hope that helps,Bax

Inkjet printers need to be used frequently to prevent ink drying out and blocking the print head nozzles. If the print head cleaning maintenance routine does not clear the blockages, then print head needs replacing, but it may be expensive. It may be more cost effective to buy a later model and better printer than replace the print head. This may unblock the print head.INKJET PRINT HEAD CLEANING FLUID http://www.pcx.com.au/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductId=1099 http://www.amazon.co.uk/PRINTER-CLEANING-RECOVERY-FLUID-100ML/dp/B001EN9W2Y

Do not [DO NOT] get any parts wet or attempt to wipe any parts with moistened towels.Turn off the printer and unplug it. Look for any small bits of paper. Vacuum the area out. It is best to use low flow vacuum equipment as the air movement from the vacuum can create static electricity so be sure not to touch metal components. The faster the air flow, the greater the generation of static electricity. If the problem is not solved, look for unpluged wires or broken connectors. If it is still not solved, some other component has failed and a good diagnostic is necessary to locate and repair it.

try cleaning the black cart heads and printer ink heads, if still have problem try replacing it black ink cart.

I have a Kodak all in one printer and there seems to be a printhead issue with them. After researching it, I ordered a new one from the Kodak website and installed it (super easy with included instructions). It moves and prints like new and it was cheaper than a new printer.

Hello and Welcome to FixYa!
Error 3802 generally occurs in the Kodak Inkjet Printers.To solve this error Turn the printer off and then turn on, this problem is solved by doing this mostly.If the problem still there then remove the ink cartridges and the print head and after few minutes put it back in the printer .If you are still facing this then do it again almost five times & if still your problem is not solved and you still get error code 3802 then probably your KODAK EASY SHARE 5500 All-In-One Ink Jet Printer is in need of servicing by a service professional.
I hope this solution helps you

Hi

Try going into Printing Preferences in the Kodak Printer Program and perform Maintenance.

You do not say which operating system you are using.

Start > (Control Panel) > (Category View) Printer > right click on the Kodak icon > Printing Preferences > Maintenance > Nozzle Check > Head Cleaning > test print > repeat nozzle check, head cleaning & test printing until problem is gone.

If this does not fix the problem, replace the black cartridge > head cleaning > test print.

You might need to perform head cleaning after every cartridge change.

I hope this helps.
