Put new cartridges in for printer, now error light flashes and it wont print

They call that flash codes or error codes. please count
count how many times the lights flash, here is what they mean

Alarm / Power light flashes orange 7 times consecutively (ink cartridge installed incorrectly)

Alarm / Power light flashes orange 5 times consecutively (Print Head Error)

Alarm / Power light flashes orange 4 times consecutively (Out of Ink Error)


Alarm / Power light flashes orange 3 times consecutively (Paper Jam Error / Cover Error)

Alarm / Power light flashes orange 2 times consecutively (Load Paper / Paper Feed Error)

Alarm / Power light flashes orange 16 times consecutively (This FINE Cartridge has previously been used)

Alarm / Power light flashes orange 15 times consecutively (FINE cartridge not recognized)

Turn the printer on. Remove the cartridges. Gently clean the electric contacts on the cartridges and the cartridge carrier. Put the cartridges back in. If the light is still flashing, and your printer won't print, one of your cartridges is faulty. I suggest you go to the refill shop and consult them which cartridges needs a replacement.
Does any message appears on your monitor when you try to print something? Usually, a message saying "problem with black/color cartridge" or something similar, that's why I am asking.

Remove the cartridge and put it in again.
If it has a reset button, push that.
If you have "refilled" your cartridge the answers will be different. Did you?

1. First count the number of times the light on the front of your printer flashes.
2. Then refer to the table below for information about the error condition and recommended recovery procedures.
   
   Number of Flashes Error Condition Error Recovery 2 Carrier Stall:
   The movement of the print cartridge carrier has been obstructed. Remove any objects blocking the carrier path.
   4 Print Incomplete:
   The print cartridge carrier stopped in the middle of a print job due to obstruction. Remove any objects blocking the carrier path.
   12 Cartridge Short:
   The printer has detected a short circuit in a cartridge.
   1. Turn the printer off.
   2. Open the front cover.
   3. Turn the printer back on.
   4. Remove the color cartridge.
   5. Close the cover. If there are no flashing lights, the color cartridge is short-circuited.
   6. Remove the black cartridge and then reinsert the color cartridge.
   7. If there is no error indicated by flashing lights, the black cartridge is short-circuited.
   8. If you continue to receive an error indicated by flashing lights, both cartridges are short-circuited.

1. Turn the power OFF.
2. Open the front cover.
3. Turn the power back ON. The print cartridge carrier should move to the install position located in the middle of the printer.
4. If it does not, close and reopen the cover:
5. Remove the color print cartridge.
6. Close the cover.
7. If there is no error indicated by flashing lights, the color cartridge has short-circuited.
8. However, if you continue to get an error, repeat steps 1-3, and then go to step 9.
9. Remove the black print cartridge and reinsert the color cartridge.
10. If there is no error indicated by flashing lights, the black cartridge has short-circuited.
11. If you continue to receive an error in both cartridge scenarios, both print cartridges have short-circuited.

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.

If the lights are solid -
The error is caused by a defective cartridge, an unsupported cartridge, an invalid refill, or a cartridge meant to be used in another geographic region.

• If the print cartridge is not installed, install it.
• If the print cartridge is installed, remove it and install a new print cartridge.

If the lights are flashing
This means the photoconducter kit needs replacing
