Hello, First check to see that the power plug has power. If it does then make sure the power cord and seated correctly into the back of the printer. Reseat the power cord and try the power switch. If that doesn't work, will have too replace the power cord. If that doesn't fix will have to take in for repair or call kodak tech support with model and serial number and walk thru trouble shooting.

Hi there You can try cleaning the head out of the machine with head cleaning solution, but that might not completely sort the problem the only other altrnative is to replace the print head. All printers must be left on and not switched off otherwise ink from printing builds up in the channels within the head and dries therefore the next time you print you get errors. If you go to any office after they have gone home, or look on films you will notice the computers are off but all the printers are on standby therefore reducing/eliminating this issue. If you only use your printer now and again, invest in a colour Laser printer as these dont have this issue. Alternatively if you need an all in one get a brother as the head is far easier to sort out. Mike D

You can try to remove the cartridges and place a few drops of aamonia where the ink transfers through the head. Replace the cartridges and power off. Let stand 30-45 minutes and restart with a cleaning. Do not over saturate
